Thoughts That Win - Xoria - 11-29-2008
When I was in college I started collecting thoughts that I found to be insightful, motivational, or powerful in some way. Once I reached over 400 in my notebook I realized that I had to organize them or the collection would lose it's usefulness. So I started a MSWord document categorizing them. That document is now nearly 54,000 words long.
Here, I will post some of the choicest gems.
