Highlights From John's Book: "The Power Of Being Different"
"The first step in bringing about positive change is to admit that you want to change. Be specific about what you want to change. Will power is a tremendous tool. Once a person bec...omes determined to do something, and blocks out all external negative thoughts, that person usually succeeds in his or her desired goal.”

"People who are nonchalant about life are insulting their parents, who may have scrimped and saved, worked extra jobs to put them through school.”

"Nothing can stop the man with the right mental attitude from achieving his goal; nothing on earth can help the man with the wrong mental attitude. --Thomas Jefferson”

"The secret to change is, first, to tell yourself that you want to change. Tell yourself every day you want to improve something in your life. Work on small goals that lead to your greater goals.”

"We have it in our power to convince anyone to do what we want them to do as long as we believe without a doubt that it is in his or her best interest to do it.”

"They buy only because I disturb them.”

"William Patterson: Energy and time are precious, limited entities. Therefore, you need to use them wisely, focusing on what is truly important."

"The difference between a successful person and others is not a lack of strength, not a lack of knowledge, but rather in a lack of will. --Vince Lombardi Football Coach (1913-1970)”

“There are two days in every week about which we should not worry - two days which should be kept free from an apprehension. One of these days is yesterday with its mistakes and cares, its aches and pains, its faults and blunders. Yesterday has passed forever beyond our control. All the money in the world cannot bring back yesterday. We cannot undo a single act we performed; we cannot erase a single word we said; yesterday is gone! The other day we should not worry about is tomorrow with its possible adversities, its burdens, its large promise and poor performance. Tomorrow also is beyond our immediate control. Tomorrow’s sun will rise either in splendor or behind a mask of clouds, but it will rise! Until it does, we have no stake in tomorrow, for it is as yet unborn. That leaves only one day - today.”

"When you are successful, people will notice the difference.."

"If a man does not keep pace with his companions, perhaps it is because he hears a different drummer. Let him step to the music which he hears, however measured or far away. --Henry David Thoreau Author/Naturalist (1817-1862) Be Different”

"John Quincy Adams said, “If your actions inspire others to dream more, learn more, do more and become more, you are a leader.”

"Do more than exist, live. Do more than touch, feel. Do more than look, observe. Do more than read, absorb. Do more than hear, listen. Do more than think, ponder. Do more than talk, say something. --John H. Rhoades Edgar Allan Poet/Philosopher”

"Today is the only day to live, to dream, and to act. The present time is all you have as your “guaranteed time.” You need to say to yourself, “I cannot allow my dreams and goals to lie dormant inside me. From this day forward, I will write down all the things I want to accomplish. I must plan and set into motion the actions that will accomplish my great goals.”

"You can excel at anything, but you must be willing to make the tough choices, and put forth the extra effort.”

"The secret to change is, first, to tell yourself that you want to change. Tell yourself every day you want to improve something in your life. Work on small goals that lead to your greater goals.”
