Recently I meet someone who asked me where I went to school and what was my major. I named the college and said my major was accounting. Next question was what do I do? My response was I am an accountant.
Today's quote is "The secret of life is not to do what you like but to like what you do". Author unknown.
The person then pointed out that it is unusually to find someone who majored in a specific field and also work in that field.
My answer to that was accounting is the only thing I know how to do and I like what I do. So I guess this means that I have discovered the secret of life!

Diantie's Daily Quote - "You have to have..."
How can you tell a person is confident in him/herself? That would be the person that usually captures every one's attention when he/she walks into a room. It's the person that will stand up and ask a question with a room full of strangers present.
Today's quote is "You have to have confidence in your ability, and then be tough enough to follow through". Author Rosalynn Carter.
This is a great quote for entrepreneurs because if you are not confident in your ability, then no will be confident in you. Tough, absolutely a necessity. Setting boundaries is not easy, but you have to do it otherwise people will walk all over you.
Does confidence guarantee success? Quite the opposite! What it does for you is to give you courage to keep going when things are rough.

Diantie's Daily Quotes - "We don't have eternity..."
How many people feel that they have all the time in the world to get things done? Some people do and that's great! Depending on the task at hand, most of us don't have time to spare.
Today's quote is "We don't have eternity to realize our dreams - only the time we are here". Author Susan L Taylor.
Even though most of us do not like deadlines attached to our dreams, we still need to remember that our time on earth is limited. If we want to get the most out of our time here, then we have no time to waste and lots to do.
Setting little goals with a realistic time line helps us along the way to accomplishing our dreams.

Diantie's Daily Quote - "Friendship doubles our..."
Remember that check list that I mentioned some people walk around with before they decided whether or not to be friends with you? Well, that list was put into action at a recent event I attended. A guest told me something had happen to her at the event (it was not pleasant) and I could not believe how on target I was about my list. Amazing but it's true.
Today's quote is "Friendship doubles our joy and divides our grief". Swedish proverb.
We use the saying "the more the merrier" from time to time especially when there is a task that needs to be done. Yes, friends do doubles our joy. What about our grief? Do we feel better when we let others know of our grief. Actually this is time that we want the world of friends to help us ease the burden that we are carrying.
We all need friendliness in our lives so be nice to someone today!

Diantie's Daily Quote - "Give and take..."
What are some ways we can let people know that we don't want to be their friend? One way is to be polite to them when you are in contact with them and don't give the person any false hopes.
Today's quote is "Give and take makes good friends". Scottish Proverb.
So, do we agree with this quote? For the most part, some of us will agree. Here it comes! Yes, we end our friendship with people when they take more from the relationship than they give. Why? Because we all like a sense of balance.
Most of us have been or are in friendships where we are giving more than we are taking but we still remain friends. Why? Because friendship is not about "what's in it for me". Friendship is much more than that!

Diantie's Daily Quote - "If you want an ..."
My theme today again is friendship. We all need friends. Even a cat and a dog learn to become friends at times.
Today's quote is "If you want an accounting of your worth, count your friends".
As an accountant I should already know what this number is for me but I don't. Some people will break friendship down into different categories and I guess that's fine. When it comes to your value, the friends are the ones who decide whether or not you are valuable to them.
Most people will use the analogy that when you are in trouble and need help, that is when you know who your true friends are. This reasoning has some truth to it but in all fairness it depends on which category of friendship you fall into for someone.
So does any of my readers want to volunteer that magical number of your worth?
