"Well I don't care what anyone else says, if you want to get good at something, it's all about practice.  Practice, practice, practice.  In fact, to be the best of the best, you'd have to practice for 10,000 hours."

#731 - Excerpt from Gung Ho!

"Goal setting is a big problem in most organizations.  The managers think because they print a goal in the annual report or announce it at some meeting, the goal is shared.  They may have shared it, but if the team doesn't commit, it isn't a shared goal."

"You can lead a horse to water but you can't make him drink."

"That's it.  If a horse doesn't drink, it just isn't shared water.  It's the buy in that makes the difference.  It's the commitment to making the goal a reality that has to be shared."

-excerpt from Gung Ho! by Ken Blanchard and Sheldon Bowles

#729 - Excerpt from Sex God by Rob Bell

"Love is handing your heart to someone and taking the risk that they will hand it back because they don't want it.  That's why it's such a crushing ache on the inside.  We gave away a part of ourselves and it wasn't wanted.

Love is giving away of power.  When we love, we give the other person the power in the relationship.  They can do what they choose.  they can do what they like with our love.  They can reject it, they can accept it, they can step towards us in gratitude and appreciation.

Love is giving away.  When we love, we put ourselves out there, we expose ourselves, we allow ourselves to be vulnerable.

Love is giving up control.  It's surrendering the desire to control the other person.  The two - love and controlling power over the other person - are mutually exclusinve.  If we are serious about loving someone, we have to surrender all of the desires within us to manipulate the relationship."
