[chris-ccc]

Greetings,

At Suppertime@CCC after our Wednesday Session on 18-July-2007, I mentioned to DoublesPlease that I love quotations. :):):)

And that I have posted 2 quotations in a thread@Badminton Central in the last 24 hours.


So... if any member@ccc hear of good quotations, please add on to this thread. :):):)


====== * ======
I believe that this is true...


"Mankind would lose half its wisdom built up over centuries if it lost its great sayings. They contain the best parts of the best books"

Thomas Jefferson, 1743-1826
President of the Untied States of America

And to DoublesPlease...

This is the exact quotation that I wasn't sure when we were at Suppertime@CCC;


"We can be cured of depression in only fourteen days if every day we will try to think of how we can be helpful to others"

Alfred Adler, 1870-1937
Austrian psychiatrist
====== * ======

====== * ======
And to our members@ccc...


"Good, the more communicated, the more abundant grows"

John Milton, 1608-1674
English poet
====== * ======

====== * ======
And to our trainees@ccc...


"Give a man a fish and you feed him for a day. Teach a man to fish and you feed him for a lifetime"

Chinese proverb

And this is what we hope... for trainees who attend our CATS (Coaching And Training Sessions), that you will enjoy Good Badminton for a lifetime. :):):)

Greetings,

A member@ccc, hkhung, posted an idea... but mentioned that it's a crazy idea.

But it reminded me of this quotation...

====== * ======


"There is nothing in the world more powerful than an idea. No weapon can destroy it; no power can conquer it, except the power of another idea."

Anonymous

Found this saying that I like (and I thought I'll post it here before I forget it).

"When people walk away from you, let them go...

Your destiny is never tied to anyone who leaves you, and it doesn't mean that they are bad people.

It just means that their part in your story is over."

You know something; Whenever we find a saying that inspires something, there is always another that counteracts it. :D:D:D

Example:

* "Good things come to him who waits"

-versus-

* "Time and tide wait for no man"

:D:D:D
