From someone's blog

• "Life moves on, whether we act as cowards or heroes.
• Life has no other discipline to impose, if we would but realize it, than to accept life unquestioningly.
• Everything we shut our eyes to, everything we run away from, everything we deny, denigrate or despise, serves to defeat us in the end.
• What seems nasty, painful, evil, can become a source of beauty, joy, and strength, if faced with an open mind.
• Every moment is a golden one for him who has the vision to recognize it as such. "
  
  Presentations: Repackage Your Words
  Paraphrase. Don't read the words on a PowerPoint slide verbatim. This causes the audience to feel patronized and become resentful. To avoid the verbatim effect, paraphrase or juxtapose the words on the slide or use synonyms. For instance, if the slide title reads, "Significant Revenue Growth," say, "Our revenues have grown impressively since last year…"Your audience will appreciate the effort.
