Maintenance Engineering Vice President Dennis Leno “My Favorite Quotes”

“Whether you believe you can do a thing or not, you are right.” -Henry Ford




“Thinking is the hardest work there is, which is probably the reason why so few engage in it.”- Henry Ford



Anyone who knows me knows of my love for quotes. Quotes have done a great deal for me over my life. They have been like road maps for me. Obviously the quotes I love most are those that seemed to be written for me. Those that gave me great advice at exactly the time I needed them.



However, there are others that are timeless and ageless, always giving me advice that is perfect no matter when I think about them. Therein lays the power of a quote. I believe they are a tool that can keep you very positive and excited.



In case you didn’t notice, this week we have used two of Henry Ford’s quotes. These are two of my all time favorites. What do these two quotes tell you? To me, they speak volumes about positive thinking and hard work; Two critical requirements to success.

Maintenance Engineering Vice President Dennis Leno “Year-End Goals”

Did you make a promise to yourself?

When 2011 started, did you set a volume goal? Did you promise yourself that no matter what you were going to hit that goal? How have you done with that goal? Did you keep your promise?

Upon asking these questions I have had salespeople tell me it was only a promise to me. It I don’t hit my goal it doesn’t really matter. I believe that a promise made to yourself is the most important promise of all to keep.

The bible has a quote that tells the whole story. “He who is faithful in a very little is faithful also in much.”- Luke 16: 10

It’s critical to keep the promises made to yourself because that’s where it all begins. As you set and keep your goals for yourself, you will keep them to others.

You have plenty of time left in 2011 to hit your goal. Do it now and keep your promise. It’s the thing to do!
