Quotable Quotes: Actionable Actions

by Miki Saxon

http://www.flickr.com/photos/smemon/5683575389/December is a time when many people think about what they should have done, what they did and what they could do better. That said, here are some suggestions that may resonate with you.

Let’s start with George Will’s attitude, which is the not only the best, but the first and most important thing to remember about people, “It’s extraordinary how extraodinary the ordinary person is.”

According to Richard L. Evans,  “Children will not remember you for the material things you provided, but for the feeling that you cherished them.” I say that is equally true for every person you will ever meet, so cherish everyone, until they prove unworthy (instead of the opposite).

Live by the words of Ralph Waldo Emerson, “Do not go where the path may lead, go instead where there is no path and leave a trail.”

And as you do so remember also the words of Proust, “The real voyage of discovery consists not in seeking new landscapes, but in having new eyes.”

Live by the proverb “A good listener is a silent flatterer.”

Follow the advice of Dee Hock, “Clean out a corner of your mind and creativity will instantly fill it.”

And above all embrace the words of Rumi, “Be a lamp, a lifeboat or a ladder.” Better yet, be all three—as needed.
