Great Quote of the Week: “Creating Opportunities”
I read this the other day and thought it would be something nifty to share with my friends*. Enjoy!
“If you want to succeed in this world, you must make your own opportunities as you go along. The one who waits for some seventh wave to toss him on dry land will find that the seventh wave is a long time coming.
You can commit no greater folly than to sit by the road side until someone comes along and invites you to ride with him to wealth or influence.”
- John B. Gough (1817-1866) British-born American philosopher
*I would appreciate you sharing this with your friends and connections! And if you have some great words of wisdom you’d like to share, feel free to post them here, too!
Warmly,
Carmen, “The Publicity Diva”

Great quote! And, here is one I have enjoyed:
“Virtue is more clearly shown in the performance of fine actions than in the nonperformance of base ones.” – Aristotle
I like those, but also wanted to list one of my favorites, too:
“Don’t lower your expectations to meet your performance. Raise your level of performance to meet your expectations. Expect the best of yourself, and then do what is necessary to make it a reality.” – Ralph Marston
