Attitude, to me, is more important than facts. It is more important than the past, the education, the money, than circumstances, than failure, than successes, than what other people think or say or do. It is more important than appearance, giftedness or skill. It will make or break a company... a church... a home. The remarkable thing is we have a choice everyday regarding the attitude we will embrace for that day. We cannot change our past... we cannot change the fact that people will act in a certain way. We cannot change the inevitable. The only thing we can do is play on the one string we have, and that is our attitude. I am convinced that life is 10% what happens to me and 90% of how I react to it. And so it is with you... we are in charge of our Attitudes.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/3435</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Tho' we earn our bread, Tom, By the dirty pen,  What we can we will be,   Honest ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/62120]]></link><description><![CDATA[Tho' we earn our bread, Tom, By the dirty pen,  What we can we will be,   Honest Englishmen.    Do the work that's nearest     Though it's dull at whiles,      Helping, when we meet them,       Lame dogs over stiles.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/62120</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It is as important to cultivate your silence power as your word power. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/56297]]></link><description><![CDATA[It is as important to cultivate your silence power as your word power.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/56297</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We definitely expected more consolidation in the industry, although it is always hard to imagine a deal of this magnitude. ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/37301]]></link><description><![CDATA[We definitely expected more consolidation in the industry, although it is always hard to imagine a deal of this magnitude.

But a rational life, the life of a valuer, does not consist essentially in reaction. It consists in action. Man does not find his values, like the other animals; he creates them. The primary focus of a valuer is not to take the world as it comes and pass judgment. His primary focus is to identify what might and ought to exist, to uncover potentialities that he can exploit, to find ways of reshaping the world in the image of his values.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/51994</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A man should conceive of a legitimate purpose in his heart, and set outto accomplish it.

He should make this purpose the centralizing point ofhis thoughts. It may take the form of a spiritual ideal, or it may be aworldly object, according to his nature at the time being; but whicheverit is, he should steadily focus his thought forces upon the object whichhe has set before him. He should make this purpose his supreme duty, andshould devote himself to its attainment, not allowing his thoughts towander away into ephemeral fancies, longings, and imaginings. This is theroyal road to self-control and true concentration of thought. Even if hefails again and again to accomplish his purpose (as he necessarily mustuntil weakness is overcome), the strength of character gained will be themeasure of his true success, and this will form a new starting point forfuture power and triumph.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/22745</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[While the operating results are disappointing, we made significant progress toward executing our strategic plans during the quarter, ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/35758]]></link><description><![CDATA[While the operating results are disappointing, we made significant progress toward executing our strategic plans during the quarter,]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/35758</guid></item></channel></rss>
