I've always liked this quote:


"Never say you don't have enough time... You have exactly the same number of hours per day That were given to Helen Keller, Pasteur, Michelangelo, Mother Teresa, Leonardo da Vinci, Thomas JeffersonAnd Albert Einstein" 


People need to "make time" for the things that are important, and taking time to get the most out of life requires us to live a more intentional life, a life where we are proactive, instead of reactive.


As we move into session 3 of the Dale Carnegie Course, set aside a time to review what we have done, and prepare for what we are about to do.  Remembering names, becoming a better conversationalist, making a good first impression in how we say our own name, or simply being more enthusiastic in the way we greet others can go a long way in making better relationships or good first impressions.


Remember to work on our commitment to applying a few of the first 9 human relations principles with someone that you want a better relationship with.  Come to class with victory on your lips - share the experience of trying out these new tools and let us know how you did.  Leave us with an action to take, based upon your experience and let us know the benefit if we take that action.


We've begun to build confidence; now we are going to build courage!
