“Intentional living is the bridge to significance. At the end of every year, I take time out to reflect and evaluate the events of the previous year - what went well and what needed improvement. From that inventory, I lay out my next year - how I intend to live, make the best use of time and maximize adding value to others. Success asks, 'How can I add value to myself?' Significance asks, 'How can I add value to others?' It is your intention that lends itself to significance.” YearsWellsEndsUseValuesNextAsksEventsNeededLaysAddIntentionImprovementBridgesSignificanceTake TimeNext YearEvaluateInventoryUse Of TimeAdding ValuePrevious Years Author:John C.

This speech is so well known and has been done in virtually every version of the events of Elizabeth's life.” TryingWellsHas BeensDoneFeltKnownWonderAudienceEventsBattleSpeechFemaleLaysPreparedVersionsAweShockTroopsWell KnownMonarchsFrontline Author:Cate Blanchett
“I am a lay historian by nature. I seek out an empirical reflection of what truth is. I sort of want dates and motivations and I want the whole story. But I've always felt, unconsciously, that all human history is that connection from person to person to person, event to event to event, and from idea to idea.” WantHumansPersonsIdeasWholeStoriesMotivationFeltEventsTruth IsReflectionConnectionsLaysHistorianHuman History Author:Tom Hanks
