After reading Driven,

So after completing "Driven" I have thought alot about somethings.  Larry H. Miller listed 3 things that he said describe himself, if he were to have a job interview, I dont remember all three but it made me think what are my three: hard working, integrity, and self motivated.  The book also had alot of great quotes.  I just wanted to list a few that I really love, ok he called it general advice about succeeding in the business world, I say it can be used almost in any area:
The only stupid question is an unasked question
Even mor important than the will to win is the will to prepare to win
You dont have to blow out the other person's candle to let your light shine (love it)
Dont make a bad deal just to make a deal
Be patient
Life is a journey not a destination
Play to your own strenghts
Trust you instincts.  You have within you abilities to deal with everything you will need to
There is no limit to what a person can accomplish if he doesnt car who gets the credit
Risk may cause failure but success cannot come without it
The words "can't be done" are only for the faint of heart
If you want extraordinary results, put in extraordinary effort


The book has a few more but I really liked these, enough to even type and print them out and put them on the wall.

My husband Scott is reading it and he loves it too! The guy worked a little too much, but at least he came to realize that!

Wow, that makes me want to read it too! I loved those quotes. Makes me want to print a couple out and put on the wall too. Hope you're well - we miss you guys!
