Kolman’s Komments: Help for your 2017 giddy up

Jan. 2, 2017
Inspiration for this New Year.

Gearing up for a New Year is often challenging. To help get you get started, I offer some inspirational quotes.

- You are never too old to set another goal or to dream a new dream.

– Aristotle, Greek philosopher and scientist

- Our goals can only be reached through a vehicle of a plan, in which we must vigorously act. There is no other route to success.

– Stephen A. Brennan. U.S. federal judge

- In the end, all business operations can be reduced to three words: people, product and profits. Unless you’ve got a good team, you can’t do much with the other two.

– Lee Iacocca, Automobile executive

- Your success and happiness lies in you. Resolve to keep happy, and your joy and you shall form an invincible host against difficulties.

– Helen Keller, American educator and one of the 20th century's leading humanitarians

- What is not started today is never finished tomorrow.

– Johann Wolfgang von Goethe, German poet, playwright, novelist, scientist and statesman

- You can’t go back and make a new start, but you can start right now and make a brand new ending.

– James R. Sherman, author

- A dream written down with a date becomes a goal. A goal broken down into steps becomes a plan. A plan backed by action makes your dreams come true.

– Greg Reid, filmmaker and keynote speaker

- When it is obvious that the goals cannot be reached, don’t adjust the goals; adjust the action steps.

– Confucius, Chinese philosopher, teacher and political figure
