Most times we can usually motivate ourselves or work through our “stuff” on our own. But every now and then, some outside help, well. . . . helps!
Here are a few of my favorite quotes about wisdom that remind me there are others walking on a path of learning too:
“Wisdom is knowing what to do next; virtue is doing it.” David Starr Jordan
“Perspective is worth 80 IQ points.” Alan Kay
“Wisdom is the reward you get for a lifetime of listening when you’d have preferred to talk.” Doug Larson
“Wise men make more opportunity than they find.” Francis Bacon

“Perfect practice makes perfect.” – You
Believe it or not, that really is motivating to me. It’s something to think about when anything that requires practice is being done, not just paddling.
I also like “Eat! Eat!” which has been said by countless Italian mothers.
Quoting me AND Italian mothers?! LOL! Thanks for the compliment, and I’m glad that my dragon boat coaching style is working for you!
It is never too late to become what you might have been. – George Eliot
Love it! George Eliot was one who was ahead of her time! (George Eliot was the pen name for Mary Ann Evans.)
“The cleanliness of theory is no match for the mess of reality.” – Ed Dayton?
Oooh, I like that one!! Too true! Thanks!
