APTITUDE FOR PATIENCE...
“Genius is nothing but a greater aptitude for patience.” ~ Benjamin Franklin
Statesman Benjamin Franklin (1706-1790) was an inventor, publisher, writer, diplomat and more. In 1730, he published the proverb-filled periodical Poor Richard's Almanac in Philadelphia for the first time under the pseudonym Richard Saunders. That same year, Franklin established one of America’s first lending libraries.
“An investment in knowledge always pays the best interest,” the wise Franklin said.

TELL THEM WHAT TO DO...
“Never tell people how to do things. Tell them what to do and they will surprise you with their ingenuity.” ~ George Patton
The volunteers I worked with at The American Cancer Society always surprised me with their hard work and ingenuity. With heart and dedication, they transformed an idea I had for capturing painted handprints of survivors into a living quilt of artistic beauty.
“Ingenuity, plus courage, plus work, equals miracles.” ~ Bob Richards
There is no limit to ingenuity. Keep your eyes… and heart open. Have a great weekend!
