* * * A Few Thoughts About Success * * *

<> <> <> <> <> <> <> <> <> <> <> <> <>

If at first you don't succeed, failure may be your style

<> <> <> <> <> <> <> <> <>

I don't know the key to success, but the key to failure is trying to please everybody

If at first you don't succeed, find out if the loser gets anything. Bill Lyon

<> <> <> <> <> <> <> <> <>

If we don't succeed, we run the risk of failure. Anonymous, often attributed to Dan Quayle

You may be disappointed if you fail, but you are doomed if you don't try. Beverly Sills

<> <> <> <> <> <> <> <> <>

Next to trying and winning, the best thing is trying and failing. L. M. Montgomery (1874 - 1942), Anne of Green Gables, 1908

<> <> <> <> <> <> <> <> <>

You always pass failure on the way to success.
Mickey Rooney (1920 - )

Success isn't permanent,
and failure isn't fatal.
Mike Ditka (1939 - )

<> <> <> <> <> <> <> <> <>

If you have made mistakes, even serious ones, there is always another chance for you. What we call failure is not the falling down but the staying down. Mary Pickford (1893 - 1979)

<> <> <> <> <> <> <> <> <>

Success is the ability to go
from one failure to another
with no loss of enthusiasm.

Sir Winston Churchill

(This Is My Favorite)

<> <> <> <> <> <> <> <> <>

Treat the other man's faith gently; it is all he has to believe with. His mind was created for his own thoughts, not yours or mine.
Henry S. Haskins

I respect faith, but doubt is what gets you an education. Wilson Mizner (1876 - 1933)

I always admired atheists. I think it takes a lot of faith.

Diane Frolov and Andrew Schneider, Northern Exposure, Seoul Mates, 1991

58 Years Ago On June 17, 1957
"So Rare" by Jimmy Dorsey Orchestra peaks at #2
   "So Rare" is a popular song published in 1937 by composer Jerry Herst and lyricist Jack Sharpe. It became a hit for Jimmy Dorsey in 1957.
     The version by Carl Ravell and his Orchestra, from a session on 4 June 1937, may be the earliest recording of the song, although it is unclear whether it was the first released version.
     Before it had ever been recorded or published, Fred Astaire had sung "So Rare" on his radio show The Packard Hour. This was the recollection of Jess Oppenheimer, then a writer for the show, who recommended the song on behalf of his friend Jerry Herst, then an "aspiring songwriter". According to Oppenheimer, this led to "So Rare" being "snapped up by a publisher who heard it on the program".
      Since 1937 "So Rare" has been recorded by numerous artists, but it notably became a late-career hit in 1957 for Jimmy Dorsey, reaching #2 on Billboard magazine's pop charts.
This was one of my favorite songs in 1957, it wasn't Rock & Roll but I really liked this song

Weekly Horoscope: For June 7, 2015 by Georgia Nicols
This is for the week of June 7th thru June 13th
All Signs:
This week, on Tuesday, the only New Moon in Gemini all year will occur. Since the New Moon each month is the perfect time to make resolutions, let's use it! We need all the help we can get, and making resolutions is powerful because everything begins in the mind. First comes the thought; from the thought springs the word; from the word springs the deed; and the deed soon becomes habit. Eventually, habit hardens into character -so we are our thoughts. We can live our lives by "management by crisis"; or we can work with goals and planning. [I write these words but do I live by them? Ha! To me, deadlines are rough guidelines and goals are hopes. If it weren't for the last minute - nothing would get done. I live like I type - fast with lots of mistakes.]
