Cut your own trail -- Me
If I follow a trail you made, I will only see things you saw
If I want to see and experience new and unique things
I have to --------Cut my own trail.

If a man does not keep pace with his
companions, perhaps it is because he
hears a different drummer.
Let him step to the music
which he hears, however
measured or far away.
-Thoreau

Old Boss of mine used to tell all the whiners at work
" I dont want to hear about the labour pain, just give me the baby"
Used it many times myself at work.
Never brave enough to use it on the wife.

“It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs, who comes short again and again, because there is no effort without error and shortcoming; but who does actually strive to do the deeds; who knows great enthusiasms, the great devotions; who spends himself in a worthy cause; who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who neither know victory nor defeat.”
― Theodore Roosevelt

Inspirational quotes....post your favorite
so many good quotes!!!
my 5 cents!!
You'll always miss 100% of the shots you Don't take!!
Quitters never win, and Winners never quit.
Now a few of my favourite demotivational phrases
Quitters never win, and Winners never quit.
But those how never Win and never Quit are idiots!
Not all Pain is Gain!
If we don't take care of our Customers
Maybe they will stop bugging us!!
You'll always miss 100% of the shots you Don't take
and Statistically speaking you will miss 90% of the Shots you do!
If you can't Learn to do Something Well
Learn to enjoy doing it poorly!!
It Could be the purpose of your life is
Only to serve as a warning to others..

If you think you are so great and important try telling someone else's horse what to do!

I was about to post that one - my favorite amongst those I recently came across. So true.

Everyone laughed at the "Nay-Sayers" when they tried to stop the logging in the Sahara Rain Forest....
