A Cool Quote I found.....

By Mike Austin ( Contact ) January 22, 2008

I have this quote posted above my desk, I read it everyday and this morning I sent it to my 16 year old son. He said he liked it, that it was an inspiration. Thought you might like it. I don't know who said it...maybe you do. Hope you get as much out of it as I do.

"Lose this day loitering, and it will be the same story Tomorrow and the next day even more. Each indecision brings it's own delays, and days are lost lamenting other lost days! Seize THIS minute! What you can dream or do, begin it! Boldness has genius and power in it! Just start, and then your mind grows heated...BEGIN it, and the work will be completed."
