meaning for us all…

I was watching a show the other day that profiled an old business woman from South Carolina. I can’t recall her name off hand, but as I was watching the program I instantly could tell why this television show was dedicating 100% of their time to featuring this woman’s life. It was one of those tales of a person who overcame insurmountable odds. She grew up with nothing, started with a dream, became self-sufficient, and left a mark on society. We’ve heard this type of tale many times before. All of them are inspiring. But, this woman was different. Her story was great, but her personality was even better. Throughout the show she had so many one-liners that were so memorable; I knew I didn’t want to forget them - priceless nuggets of inspiration from the generation who came before.

So, I wrote down a few. I thought you all wouldn’t mind if I shared. If I can ever remember her name I will be sure to let you know.

  • Life is like a dog team. If you are not the lead dog, the scenery never changes.
  • I felt like a mosquito in a nudist camp. I knew what I was going to do, but I didn’t know where to start.
  • Employees have 3 things - mind, hands, and heart. You can get to their minds and hands. But, to get top quality you must reach the employee through their heart.
  • Blessed are the peacemakers.
  • Thank your momma for making you work.
  • If you can’t change my circumstances, Lord, then you are going to have to change me.
  • You can stay positive in any situation if you have Jesus in your heart.
