Paper Airplane Contest

Sometimes it pays to think outside the box.  If we all had the same thoughts or went about solving problems the same way this world would not grow the way that it does.  Make sure to listen to everyone and use different perspectives when solving problems.  Sometimes the best solutions and ideas come from the places we least expect.

Success from what perspective

A success too many may not be success to everyone.  Our viewpoints sometimes must change in order for us to truly understand life and what is really important.  We should always try to be optimistic and look at things from a positive perspective.  If we don’t, no matter what we do or accomplish this will be a miserable life.  Optimism – pass it 

In a hurry

Sometimes we role through life and everything seems to be going so well and easy.  In this vast field there are very few trees, but if you are not paying attention or you are in too big of a hurry you will hit it.  Even when things seem really good, make sure to pay attention to the small things, they can sure ruin your day.

The Knack

We are all blessed with different talents and gifts.  I can definitely relate to Dilbert.  As a kid I loved taking things apart, putting them back together, and seeing how they work.  The older I get the more I appreciate the difference in the way that we all think.

Success

When I think of Michael Jordan, I think of the greatest basketball player of all time.  I don’t think of the Michael Jordan that was cut from his high school basketball team (Wow, can you imagine being that coach), or all of the other times that he failed.  Sometimes we need to look at failures as a driving force that enables us to both do great things and be great people not as a deterrent or sad thing.
