A few quotes that portray qualities dear to my heart…
Persistence
Nothing in this world can take the place of persistence. Talent will not: nothing is more common than unsuccessful men with talent. Genius will not; unrewarded genius is almost a proverb. Education will not: the world is full of educated derelicts. Persistence and determination alone are omnipotent -Calvin Coolidge
Integrity
Integrity is choosing courage over comfort; choosing what is right over what is fun, fast, or easy; and choosing to practice our values rather than simply professing them.” -Brene Brown
Resilience
A Ship in Harbor Is Safe, But that Is Not What Ships Are Built For -John A. Shedd
Optimism
The pessimist complains about the wind; the optimist expects it to change; the realist adjusts the sails. ― William Arthur Ward
The optimist thinks this is the best of all possible worlds. The pessimist fears it is true. -J. Robert Oppenheimer
Teamwork
If you judge a fish by its ability to climb a tree, it will live its whole life believing that it is stupid. -Albert Einstein
Rational
In God I trust. Everyone else must bring data. -W. Edwards Deming
