In summary, I claim that some of the reasons why so many people who have greatness within their grasp don’t succeed are: they don’t work on important problems, they don’t become emotionally involved, they don’t try and change what is difficult to some other situation which is easily done but is still important, and they keep giving themselves alibis why they don’t.–Richard Hamming

Enjoyed reading your quotes…and many of the other blog entries as well. Was it President Kimball who said that you only had to make a decision once and then stick to it? Also, are you related to Nathan Bradshaw who served a mission in South Carolina? And finally, your precious baby was born the day before my little granddaughter Emma. Both are adorable!

Thanks Marla Jayne. I think that President Kimball said that many times in many ways. I don’t know how Nathan and I are related but I’m curious now, and congratulations on your grandbaby. Emma is a cute name. It’s too bad there is no link on your comment. We’d like to learn more about you.
