Thought of the Week |
"It
is not the critic who counts, not the man who points out how the strong
man stumbled, or where the doer of deeds could have done better. The
credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is
marred by dust and sweat and blood, who strives valiantly, who errs and
comes short again and again, who knows the great enthusiasms, the great
devotions, and spends himself in a worthy cause, who at best knows
achievement and who at the worst if he fails, at least fails while
daring greatly so that his place shall never be with those cold and
timid souls who know neither victory nor defeat."

Lessons
from The Blind Side
by
Richard Fenton & Andrea Waltz
By her own admission,
Sandra Bullock never had her heart set on an Oscar - and that just may
be how she ended up with one.
As she told People magazine after her big win for her role in 'The
Blind Side' last week, "I didn't aspire to this. I was in awe of it. I
admired it. I got to watch it like everyone else did, or present - but
it wasn't something that I said, 'One day when I get the Oscar....' "
So how did she end up with one? Simple. Sandra
Bullock was willing to be bad. What did not get as much
coverage last week was that the night before the Oscars®,
Sandra Bullock won a 'Razzie Award' for WORST actress of the year for
her performance in the stinker, 'All About Steve.' Bullock
won NOT because she dreamed of winning - she won because she wasn't
afraid to fail.
Success and failure... yes and no... are not opposites; they are simply
opposite sides of the same coin. Later, Bullock would joke
about where the two statuettes would go on her mantle.
"They'll sit side by side, in a nice little shelf somewhere, the Razzie
maybe on a different shelf, lower," she said laughing. Nah,
Sandra - put them both on the same shelf... side by side... where they
belong.
Oh, and if her example isn't enough, one of the funniest lines of the
night was delivered by Steve Martin who said about Meryl Streep...
"Meryl Streep, the most Oscar-nominated actress of all time, with
16! Or, as I like to think of it, a 13-time loser."

Quotables from
the Go for No! Movie

"The
problem is most people are afraid to ask. They're afraid they're going
to get a "No," so they don't (ask). I always say, "You don't know
you're going to get a 'No' until you ask, and if you don't ask, you've
given yourself the 'No.'" - Jack Canfield

Week's Trivia
Answer |
Who spends the most time
watching TV? Adults! Specifically, women (sorry, ladies!) Men
average 21.9 hours per week, while women are at a 26.5
average! Kids? They get just 17.9 hours of tube-time, but
just in case you think this takes them off the hook, the study didn't
measure ipod/iphone/wii/xbox time. A wake up call for those
who say there's not "enough time" to reach their goals.
