Quote by Henry Ford

"The best we can do is size up the chances, calculate the risks involved, estimate our ability to deal with them, and then make our plans with confidence."

The Reluctant Investor - By Donnald M. Weill

I hesitate to make a list
Of all the countless deals I've missed;
Bonanzas that were in my grip -
I watched them through my fingers slip;

The windfalls which I Should have bought
were lost because I over-thought;
I thought of this, I thought of that,
I could have sworn I smelled a rat,

And while I thought things over twice,
Another grabbed them at the price,
It seemed I always hesitate,
Then make my mind up much too late,

Avery cautious man am I
And that is why I never buy.
When tracts rose high on
Sixth and Third,The prices asked I felt absurd;

Whole block-fronts bleak and black with soot-
Were priced at thirty bucks a foot!
I wouldn't even make a bid,
But others did -- yes, others did!

When Tucson was cheap desert land,
I could have had a hip of sand;
When Phoenix was the place to buy,
I thought the climate much too dry!"

Invest in Dallas-That's the spot!"
My sixth sense warned me I should not,
A very prudent man am I
And that is why I never buy.

A corner here, then acres there,
Compounding values year by year,
I chose to think and as I thought,
They bought the deals I should have bought.

The Golden chances I had then
Are lost and will not come again,
Today I can not be enticed
For everything's so overpriced.

The deals of yesteryear are dead;
The market's soft -- so's my head!
Last night I had a fearful dream,
I know I wakened with a scream;

Some Indians approached my bed --
For trinkets on the barrelhead,
(In dollar bills worth twenty-four,
And nothing less and nothing more),

They'd sell Manhattan Isle to me,
The most I'd go was twenty-three.
The redman scowled: "Not on a bet!"
And sold to Peter Minuit.

At times a teardrop drowns my eye
For deals I had, but did not buy;
And now life's saddest words
I pen"If only I'd invested then!"

“Failure is not a single, cataclysmic event. You don't fail overnight. Instead, failure is a few errors in judgment, repeated every day.”

”Success is nothing more than a few simple disciplines, practiced every day.”

“Create courageous thoughts and fearful thoughts will be crowded out of your life.”

Bear Bryant's Poem

One of the greatest and winningest college coaches of our time, Paul "Bear" Bryant, kept this poem in his pocket and read it every day.

It holds a great message regardless our lot in life.


This is the beginning of a new day.
God has given me this day to use as I will.
I can waste it or use it for good.

What I do today is important as I am
exchanging a day of my life for it.

When tomorrow comes, this day will be gone forever.
Leaving something in its place I have traded for it.

I want it to be a gain, not loss--good, not evil.
Success, not failure,

in order that I shall not forget the price I paid for it.

It's all in a State of Mind

Author Unknown

If you think you are beaten, you are:
If you think you dare not, you won't

If you like to win, but don't think you can
It's almost certain you won't.

If you think you'll lose, you're lost;
For out in the world you'll find

Success begins with a fellow's will;
It's all in a state of mind.

For many a game is lost,
Ere even a play is run,

And many a coward fails
Ere even his work begun.

Think big and your deeds will grow,
Think small and you'll fall behind;

Think that you can and you will;
It's all in a state of mind.

If you think you are out-classed, you are;
You've got to think high to rise;

You've got to be sure of yourself
BeforeYou can ever win a prize.

Life's battles don't always go
To the stronger or faster man,

But sooner or later, the man who wins
Is the fellow who thinks he can.
