You will fail because you were never going to succeed!!!

You will succeed because you were never going to fail!!

 Which one are you - either you got talent or you don't.  You had talent yesterday, you got it today and you will still have it tomorrow.... or you don't.  It might take a bit of hard work to get it out of you, but that's where practice, determination, and desire come to play.

Think, Believe, and Execute!!!!

EVERYTHING I need to know about life, I learned from Noah's Ark...  the woodpecker might have to go!!!

1.   Don't miss the boat
2.   Remember that we are all in the same boat.
3.   Plan ahead.  It wasn't raining when Noah build the Ark.
4.   Stay Fit.  When you're 600 years old, someone may ask you to do something really big.
5.   Don't listen to critics; just get on with the job that needs to be done. 
6.   Build your future on high ground.
7.   For safety sake, travel in pairs.
8.   Speed isn't always an advantage.  The snails were on board with the cheetahs.
9.   When your stressed, float a while.
10.  Remember, the Ark was build by amateurs; the titanic by professionals.
11.  No matter the storm, when you are with God, there's always a rainbow waiting.
