| With the musical just finished, and a new Marching Season just around the corner, I present the StarStarred Thought: The lasting measure of a man is not what society thinks of him, but rather what his actions teach him that he is.
Starred Thought: Divide and rule, a sound motto; unite and lead, a better one.
Starred Thought: Commitment is the fuel that drives the common man to complete the uncommon task.
Starred Thought: Destiny is not a thing of chance, but of choice. It is not something to be waited for, but to be achieved.
Starred Thought: When you come to the end of your rope, tie a knot and hang on.
Starred Thought: Either find a way, or make one.
Starred Thought: Every wrong attempt discarded is another step forward.
Starred Thought: Not everything that is faced can be changed, but nothing can be changed until it is faced.
Starred Thought: It is not the will to succeed, but the will to prepare to succeed that makes the difference.
Starred Thought: Dream deep, for every dream precedes the goal.
Starred Thought: That which costs little is less valued.
Starred Thought: The real secret to success is enthusiasm.
Starred Thought: Over every mountain is a path, although it may not be seen from the valley.
Starred Thought: Every new beginning comes from some other beginning's end.
Starred Thought: Everyone dies, but not everyone truly lives.
Starred Thought: Leaders must invoke an alchemy of great vision.
Starred Thought: You can tell whether someone is clever by their answers. You can tell whether someone is wise by their questions.
Starred Thought: Laziness may appear attractive but work gives satisfaction.
Starred Thought: A person who aims at nothing is sure to hit it.
Starred Thought: We must use time wisely and forever realize that the time is always ripe to do right.
Starred Thought: When your values are clear to you, making decisions becomes easier.
Starred Thought: Small opportunities are often the beginning of great enterprises.
Starred Thought: You're never a loser until you quit trying.
Starred Thought: Passion holds up the bottom of the universe and genius paints up its roof.
Starred Thought: Give the world the best that you have, and the best will come back to you.
Starred Thought: You get the best out of others when you give the best of yourself.
Starred Thought: It is sad to grow old but nice to ripen.
Starred Thought: To the timid soul, nothing is possible.
Starred Thought: Thorough preparation makes its own luck.
Starred Thought: We don't know who we are until we see what we can do.
Starred Thought: There is never a better measure of what a person is than what they do when they're absolutely free to choose.
Starred Thought: A pessimist is one who makes difficulties of their opportunities; an optimist is one who makes opportunities of their difficulties.
Starred Thought: Some people are molded by their admirations, others by their hostilities.
Starred Thought: The mind is just another muscle.
Starred Thought: To be upset over what you don't have is to waste what you do have.
Starred Thought: It's not the load that breaks you down, it's the way you carry it.
Starred Thought: Ability is what you're capable of doing. Motivation determines what you do. Attitude determines how well you do it.
Starred Thought: Learning is not attained by chance, it must be sought for with ardor and attended to with diligence.
Starred Thought: It's not what you can do; it's not what you will do; it's what you do do.
Starred Thought: Caring is a choice of behaviour.
Starred Thought: We cannot give to others what we do not have for ourselves.
Starred Thought: You control your thoughts. Your thoughts control your feelings. Your feelings control your behaviour. Therefore you control all of these.
Starred Thought: Failure is a stepping stone to achievement.
Starred Thought: There will never be success without failure.
Starred Thought: Failing to plan means planning to fail.
Starred Thought: A person who does not improve is no better than a person who cannot improve.
Starred Thought: The success of any leader is in direct proportion to their ability to produce excellence in the people they are leading.
Starred Thought: A mistake is at least evidence that someone tried to do something.
Starred Thought: The important thing is this: to be able at any moment, to sacrifice what we are for what we could become.
Starred Thought: We make a living by what we get, but we make a life by what we give.
Starred Thought: The rung of a ladder was never meant to rest upon, but only to hold a person's foot long enough to enable them to put the other somewhat higher.
Starred Thought: When we think positively and imagine what we want, we risk disappointment; when we don't, we ensure it.
Starred Thought: Real leadership comes out of action.
Starred Thought: There are no limits to the amount of good you can accomplish if you don't care who gets the credit.
Starred Thought: Act- don't react.
Starred Thought: We must deal with what is, not what should be.
Starred Thought: The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena; whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs and comes short again and again . . . who knows the great enthusiasms, the great devotion, and spends himself in a worthy cause; who at best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement; and who at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly.
Starred Thought: Whenever we blame, we give up our power over the situation.
Starred Thought: It is often uncomfortable to discuss being uncomfortable.

Starred Thought: You will never do better than you think you can.

Starred Thought: The truly successful person sees rejection as a chance to learn and grow.

Starred Thought: People are more important than titles.

Starred Thought: Amateurs practice until they get it right; professionals practice until they can't get it wrong.

Starred Thought: Those at the top of the class don't always prove to be the front-runners in the profession.
Starred Thought: If you blame others for your failures, do you credit them with your success?
Starred Thought: We will be students forever.
Starred Thought: Oversleeping will never make dreams come true.
Starred Thought: Rationalization is the archenemy of discipline.
Starred Thought: Focus on the solution, not the problem.
Starred Thought: To be a genuine individualist requires a great deal of strength and courage. It is never easy to chart new territory, to cross new frontiers, or to introduce subtle shadings to an established colour.

Starred Thought: Tenacity is an attribute necessary for attaining excellence at any discipline.
Starred Thought: Most people never listen.
Starred Thought: It is the province of knowledge to speak; it is the privilege of wisdom to listen.
Starred Thought: Even if you're on the right track, you'll get run over if you just sit there.
Starred Thought: While you're dealing with the fear that it can't be done, somebody else is doing it.
Starred Thought: Unless you try to do something beyond what you have already mastered, you will never grow.
Starred Thought: When you devote yourself to an ideal, you become more than just human- you become legend.
Starred Thought: Wherever you go, go with all your heart.
Starred Thought: Music expresses that which cannot be said and on which it is impossible to be silent.
Starred Thought: Demand excellence from yourself
Starred Thought: When you fall, fall forward- at least you're making progress.
Starred Thought: Music is feeling, rather than sound.
Starred Thought: Don't take life too seriously or you'll never get out alive.
Starred Thought: Sometimes you have to let your heart lead you, even if you know it's someplace you know you're not supposed to be.
Starred Thought: Resignation is simply a more cynical, self-righteous form of complacency.
Starred Thought: Ignorance breeds ignorance, but education breeds understanding.
Carpe Diem.

| Long After the Boys of Summer Have Gone
"When you realize you want to spend the rest of your life with somebody, you want the rest of your life to start as soon as possible." -Harry, "When Harry Met Sally"
Good Artical Found HereStarred Thought: Don't talk about it: Be about it. (Scott Sweet, TKE) Starred Thought: We forge our own destinies, take our own measures, yet cannot face hardships or seek the meaning of life without by degrees becoming whatever we expect to find. Starred Thought: The lasting measure of a man is not what society thinks of him, but rather what his actions teach him that he is. Starred Thought: "Against criticism a man can neither protest nor defend himself; he must act in spite of it, and then it will gradually yield to him." -Johann Wolfgang Goethe Carpe Diem.

| The Woodsman Returns- for real this time.
Starred Thought: True Love has no fear.
Starred Thought: It takes courage to grow up and become who you really are.
Starred Thought: Do not follow where the path may lead. Go instead where there is no path and leave a trail.
Starred Thought: The world moves for love. It kneels before it in awe.
Starred Thought: Be who you are and say what you feel, because those who mind don't matter and those who matter don't mind.
Starred Thought: If you forget who you were, you will never really know who you are.
Starred Thought: Until you have learned to be tolerant with those who do not always agree with you; until you have cultivated the habit of saying some kind word of those whom you do not admire; until you have formed the habit of looking for the good instead of the bad there is in others, you will be neither successful nor happy.
Starred Thought: Never let fact interfere with a good story.
Starred Thought: If you are going through hell, keep going.
Starred Thought: If you judge people, you have no time to love them.
Starred Thought: Of what one cannot speak, of that one must remain silent.
Starred Thought: They love to tell you to stay inside the lines, but there may be something better on the other side.
Starred Thought: Love doesn't make the world go 'round. Love is what makes the ride worthwhile.
Starred Thought: Remember who you are. Remember why you're doing this.
Carpe Diem.

| The Woodsman Returns . . .
Starred Thought: Be the change you wish to see in the world.
Starred Thought: If you fear death, you cannot truly live.
Starred Thought: Taking calculated risks is quite different from being rash.
Starred Thought: To whom much is given, much is required.
Starred Thought: The journey is the reward.
Starred Thought: Those who wish to sing always find a song.
Starred Thought: He who won't stand for something will fall for anything.
Starred Thought: Be brave enough to live creatively. The creative is the place where no one else has ever been. You have to leave the city of your comfort and go into the wilderness of your intuition. What you will discover will be wonderful. What you discover will be yourself.
Carpe Diem. | | |
