Suggestions for Success

If you've read my blog in the past, you probably know that I love Pinterest.  Well, that might be an understatement. I could sit on Pinterest for hours on end. It's bad enough that I get on when I'm on the computer, but I also have it downloaded on my Kindle, and I have the app on my iPhone! So, I can literally take Pinterest with me everywhere, haha!

It's great to find craft ideas, recipes (sometimes...), decorating ideas, party ideas, outfit plans, pretty much anything!! It's so resourceful.  I remember starting out with just like the six standard boards, and I didn't even know you could create your own board at the time, ha.  Now, I have 46 boards!! Of course, I use some more than others, but I do regularly pin to all of them!

While going through different categories of pins one day, I decided to look at the Quotes section.  (Usually, I just like looking at the pictures, but I was up for a little reading, ha).  I came across this really great list: 21 Suggestions for Success.  So, I just thought I would share them with all of you....here they are!

1. Marry the right person.  This one decision will determine 90% of your happiness or misery.

2. Work at something you enjoy and that's worthy of your time and talent.

3. Give people more than they expect and do it cheerfully.

10. Treat everyone you meet like you want to be treated.

11. Commit yourself to constant improvement.

12. Commit yourself to quality.

21. Don't do anything that wouldn't make your mom proud.
