Motivational quotations
There is only one more CorporateCoach before we break for our August holidays, so I thought I would give you something to carry you through our summer. I list below a random collection of quotations that you can use or pass on to others.
First, though, a suggestion that has come into my in-box following the recent bombings in London.
East Anglian Ambulance Service have launched a national “In case of Emergency (ICE)” campaign with the support of Falklands war hero Simon Weston and in association with Vodafone’s annual life savers award.
The idea is that you store the word “ICE” in your mobile phone address book, and against it enter the number of the person you would want to be contacted “In Case of Emergency”. In an emergency situation ambulance and hospital staff will then be able to quickly find out who your next of kin are and be able to contact them.
It’s so simple – anyone can do it. Forward this to everybody in your address book, it won’t take too many forwards before everybody will know about it.
Here are the quotations
| Malcolm S Forbes | When you cease to dream you cease to live |
| Robert Browning | Our aspirations are our possibilities |
| Napoleon Hill | Cherish your visions and your dreams as they are the children of your soul; the blueprints of your ultimate achievements |
| Robert L Schwartz | The entrepreneur is essentially a visualiser and an actualiser… He can visualise something, and when he visualises it he sees exactly how to make it happen |
| Robert Collier | The source and centre of all man’s creative power… is his power of making images, or the power of imagination |
| Henry Ford | Failure is only the opportunity to more intelligently begin again |
| Samuel Johnson | Few things are impossible to diligence and skill… great works are performed not by strength, but perseverence |
| William James | People can alter their lives by altering their attitudes |
And finally a message from The Prophet – Kahlil Gibran: “Life without love is like a tree without blossom and fruit.”
You may remember that the theme of our stand at HRD 2005 was 90-MinuteLearning. I am using this issue’s Coaching Notes to introduce you to one of our programmes so that you will know a bit more about this major training initiative.

May I add, one or two quotations ?
“Marriage is not a word; it is a sentence-a life sentence”
“Success is relative-more the success-more the relataives”

Dr Bapat
Are these meant to be MOTIVATIONAL, or a warning?
Many thanks and best wishes

May I add another in the same vein?
“Where there’s a will, there’s a relative.”
