Morning Announcements, Feb. 22, 2010

Good Morning Everyone!!

Quote of the day:

“Whatever you decide you really want to do with your life, take it very seriously…You find that by focusing on what you want to do with your life, it happens. And don’t let anything take you off course. Commit yourself early on.” – Michael Bolton – singer

Joke of the Day:

Q: Why did the elephant decide not to move?

Thought of the day : Working hard

“I wasn’t lucky. I deserved it.”

Mrs. Thatcher was Britain’s first woman Prime Minister. For more than ten years, she was a powerful world leader. Many successful people, especially girls and women, don’t handle their success very well. When others ask them, “How did you get where you are?” they answer, “Oh, I was lucky, I guess.” As teacher Barbara Lewis says, “Luck is just another word for work.” If you’re successful, it’s not because you’re lucky. It’s because you are talented and you work hard.

Today….take credit for your success.
