“Appreciation is a wonderful thing. It makes what is excellent in others belong to us as well.”
–Voltaire (1694-1778), writer, satirist, author, humanistI thought that this was most appropriate seeing that we are traveling home from Dallas from the Mary Kay Seminar. Seminar is the annual event which MK Corporate celebrates the achievements of the past MK year (July-June) and motivates for the upcoming year. Mary Kay was created as a company that would appreciate women and their accomplishments. Created 45 years ago, it was the brain child of Mary Kay Ash, an incredibly successful but under appreciated sales person who was tired of seeing men promoted and advance ahead of her (and some she even personally trained) created a company that would have no limit to what a woman could make.

–DilbertA little “Off the Wall”? Well, yes… what would you expect. I tried to look for something on Tardiness and Late seeing that it’s Monday when I am posting Success Sunday. What I found were some great “Time” quotes and this one is just up my alley. We have our Donuts, our Quantum Mechanics and our large device to propel things at high velocity, what else is there? (Oh, those donuts are Chocolate Creme Filled by the way)This week is going to seem much faster as we go to Dallas for our annual trip to the MK Seminar. Should be exciting as always, but we will be busy!Find out How to Post your own Success Sunday!

Jul201 Comment“Oompa, Loompa, doom-pa-dee-da
If you’re not greedy, you will go far
You will live in happiness too
Like the Oompa Loompa doom-pa-dee-do”
–Oompa Loompa song from Willy Wonka & the Chocolate Factory
I recently came across this because I was was playing with my hair and I noticed that it look similar to the Oompa Loompa’s from Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factor. So, I took a picture and with a little amateurish photoshoping, I turned myself into an Oompa Loompa.
This is the chorus of the song that the Oompa Loompa’s sing throughout the movie. This is the main theme of the movie, Charlie isn’t greedy at the end and returns the Everlasting Gobstopper when he could have fetched a handsome sum from Slugworth. His reward for his honesty and character is the inheritance of the Wonka Factory in its entirety. By sticking to his character even when he was mad and upset at Willy Wonka (and Uncle Joe was pressuring him to give it to Slugworth as vengence against Wonka), it paid off for him. Being a movie, it paid off immediately, but in our lives doing the right thing doesn’t necessarily pay off and sometimes the rewards we reap aren’t tangible.Find out How to Post your own Success Sunday!

–Nancy BarcusThere’s more room as you move up, because too many people are wallowing at the bottom. Most of the things that we experience are our own perceptions and if we can alter our perception to be limitless, there is greater chance that we will make it our reality.

is a joy forever.”
–Mary PoppinsAs we were watching the movie Saturday Night, this quote, merely a quick response in the movie, stuck out to be like Mary Poppins paused on every word. Often you can find success in the strangest of places, or in ordinary things. Sometimes it doesn’t take the extraordinary to do the extraordinary.
