Monday Morning Motivator & Some Points to Ponder...
    
     I wished the buck stopped here, as I could use a few...
          ~~ Unknown

     When life does not go the way we want, it is easy to blame life's circumstances. We can make excuses, point the finger or waste time second-guessing ourselves.
     You are the CEO of your business. Make the decision to quit passing the buck, and maybe, just maybe, some bucks will stop on your doorstep...

Sounds like our congress and president. Lets just add another commissioned study to determine the reason we aren't making enough money. Does that count as doing something?

You can Buck Owens, Buck Henry, listen to Jack Buck too. But once you pass the buck, you're not taking responsibility for your own actions.

beautiful picture. And so true about the bucks. For some it is easier to place blame then to accept it.

Michael, the effective mindset is to look for solutions instead of dwelling on the problems.
