The Colonel's Motivational Quotes of the Day!
Good "Monday & Labor Day" Morning Everyone — September 3, 2018!
Today is: "Working for Living Day!" Why Not?
"Today we celebrate the hard working men and women that forged through sweat and labor this free and great nation we live in. Thanks to those who came before us, those that worked hard yet today, and those who will continue long into our future!. God Bless you all. — COL (Ret) Mikel Burroughs
The Quote in the Picture Today Reads: "Labor Day symbolizes our determination to achieve an economic freedom for the average man which will give his political freedom reality." — Franklin D. Roosevelt.
"No work is insignificant. All labor that uplifts humanity has dignity and importance and should be undertaken with painstaking excellence." — Martin Luther King Jr
"Pleasure in the job puts perfection in the work." — Aristotle
"A hundred times every day, I remind myself that my inner and outer life depend on the labors of other men, living and dead, and that I must exert myself in order to give in the same measure as I have received and am still receiving." — Albert Einstein
"Work is no disgrace; the disgrace is idleness." — Greek Proverb
"Without ambition one starts nothing. Without work one finishes nothing. The prize will not be sent to you. You have to win it." — Ralph Waldo Emerson
"Before the reward there must be labor. You plant before you harvest. You sow in tears before you reap joy." — Ralph Ransom
Lastly a video from Huey Lewis & The News: Workin' For A Livin'

Thank goodness we had people before us who were willing to work hard to build this great country. It is hard to imagine the extent and effort they put in. We take so much for granted in our lives. Yesterday was a reminder of that as we went power out for just about five hours. No TV, no radio, no A/C, candle light and camping lanterns. Reminders of how it used to be for people. I read by candle light and thought about President Lincoln and all the others who did that night after night for their education after working all day. Thank you to those who put in the work; may we be worthy of what we have inherited. What can you and I do to continue to improve this place we have inherited?

Good Monday Labor Day Morning COL. That was a mouthful! "Working for a Living" I can certainly relate to that....! I am going with your today COL.
"Today we celebrate the hard working men and women that forged through sweat and labor this free and great nation we live in. Thanks to those who came before us, those that worked hard yet today, and those who will continue long into our future!. God Bless you all. — COL (Ret) Mikel Burroughs
It takes a lot of hard work to get where you want to be in any situation.....
I am of a mind that if you work hard, get up early and got bed late.......Loving what your doing or representing or whatever! You will excel in that endeavor....
Have an excellent Labor Day COL Mikel J. Burroughs With your Ladies.......And maybe some other Family home?
Rock the day and use that deck and firepit Brother....!

I agree with all the above Alan K. I don't think there has been a day since I turned 11 years old that I didn't work hard everyday my friend. I know you work damn hard and that is why we get along so well. Looking forward to some great times in 2019 and we'll definitely be coming back you and Stevie's way again my friend. Enjoy the day on the Lake!
