Comments about Hope and Striving

“If you don’t know where you are going, you’ll probably end up somewhere else.”

Lewis Carroll

“The tragedy of life doesn’t lie in not reaching your goal. The tragedy lies in having no goal to reach. It isn’t a calamity to die with dreams unfulfilled, but it is a calamity not to dream…. It is not a disgrace not to reach the stars, but it is a disgrace to have no stars to reach for. Not failure, but low aim is sin.”

Benjamin Elijah

“Nothing can stop the man with the right mental attitude from achieving his goal; nothing on earth can help the man with the wrong mental attitude.”

Thomas Jefferson

“Stop thinking in terms of limitations and start thinking in terms of possibilities.”

Terry Josephson

“If you raise your children to feel that they can accomplish any goal or task they decide upon, you will have succeeded as a parent and you will have given your children the greatest of all blessings.”

Brian Tracy

“Aim in life is the only fortune worth the finding; and it is not to be found in foreign lands, but in the heart itself.”

Robert Louis Stevenson

“You can’t hit a home run unless you step up to the plate. You can’t catch fish unless you put your line in the water. You can’t reach your goals if you don’t try.”

Kathy Seligman

“To know just what has to be done, then to do it, comprises the whole philosophy of practical life.”

Sir William Osler

“I can accept failure.  Everyone fails at something.  But I can’t accept not trying.”

Michael Jordan

“Success is to be measured not so much by the position that one has reached in life as by the obstacles which he has overcome while trying to succeed.”

Booker T. Washington

The Internet is Not Magic, Jobs for Felons not Guaranteed

As I put together this site and move forward with the project, I’ve put a lot of thought in what I want to offer here. Talking to someone more learned than I am in this area, I realized that it’s very important for me to not offer false hope or promises. The Internet is not a magic place that will guarantee you a job or income. It can help with a job search, can help you learn about how to approach the job seeking process better, but it is NOT a guarantee.
