    Favorite Saying from Tom Petty’s Lyrics:

    Well I won’t back down
    No I won’t back down
    You can stand me up at the gates of hell
    But I won’t back down
    No I’ll stand my ground, won’t be turned around
    And I’ll keep this world from draggin me down
    gonna stand my ground
    … and I won’t back down

    Well I know what’s right, I got just one life
    in a world that keeps on pushin me around
    but I’ll stand my ground
    …and I won’t back down

    Favorite Book: No doubt it’s “Seven Habits”

    Great stuff everyone, thanks!

    “And when you discover what you will be in your life, set out to do it as if God Almighty called you at this particular moment in history to do it… If a man is called to be a street sweeper, he should sweep streets like Michelangelo painted paintings, or Beethoven composed music, or Shakespeare wrote poetry. He should sweep streets so well that all the hosts of heaven and earth will pause to say, ‘Here lived a great street sweeper!’”
    -Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.
