“I don't think the Bonzo Dog could have evolved in America, nor could the old Nice: because of their musical discipline. This is one thing that British groups do have, a sort of discipline. Sometimes it can get a bit soulless, but on the whole I think it's preferable to the American alternative.” ThinkingSometimesWholeAmericaBitsNiceOne ThingGroupsDogDisciplineMusicalBritishAlternativesSoulless Author:Jon Lord

“SELF-DISCIPLINE, more than any other personal quality I can think of, is the one thing that separates successful people from the unsuccessful. Think of all it encompasses: honoring commitments, promises and deadlines, keeping your life on schedule, being willing to go the extra mile... Self-discipline is essential to success. The alternative is a life ruled by emotions, and none of us can afford that if we're going to fulfill our purpose and realize our potential.” PeopleIfsThinkingI CanSelfPurposeRealizingEmotionQualitySuccessfulOne ThingWillingDisciplinePromiseEssentialsCommitmentMilesAlternativesExtrasSuccessful PeopleSelf DisciplineSchedulesDeadlineUnsuccessfulExtra MilePersonal Qualities Author:John C.

“It's so important to have your own relationship with the Lord. That is the number one thing I would say. Be sure that you are getting to a place where God is your best friend. He wants that relationship with you. He wants you to be in love with Him like that. It takes time. It takes discipline to spend time in His word and spend time listening to stuff that's going to pour life into you and not just thinking about your appearance or things that a lot of music tries to tell you to do. Be careful of that. Be careful of what you're filling your spirit with.” ThinkingWantTryingImportantSpiritStuffNumbersLordOne ThingListeningDisciplineCarefulAppearanceBe CarefulTake TimeEnd TimesFillingSpend TimeYour Best FriendIt Takes TimeThinking About You Author:Kari Jobe

“...I think there's only one [thing] that anybody teaches, and this is character. And I think that whether you are teaching history, math, or biology, or music, what you are really doing is, you are helping to shape the character of that person who is your student...
