Hi all,
I had high hopes for my shallow DOF submission, and it is tanking. Further, when I look at the other entries I realize that mine pretty much deserves a mediocre score. With that in mind, I have this desk calendar at work, and each day of the year has a little inspirational saying on it. I haven't pulled any of the days off for the past week, so I just brought it up to today. I noticed almost all the quotes apply to not giving up, persaverence, etc. I wanted to share a few, in case you're thinking you can't take a winning picture to save your life:
"Men do not fail, they stop trying."
"The race is not always to the swift, but to those who keep on running."
"Enjoy the little things, for one day you may look back and realize they were the big things."
"God hasn't called me to be successful. He's called me to be faithful."
"When love and skill work together, expect a masterpiece."
"Striving for success without hard work is like trying to harvest where you haven't planted."
"Begin somewhere; you cannot build a reputation on what you intend to do."
There you go. Words of wisdom for the day. Enjoy.
-Don |

"Failure, then, failure! So the world stamps us at every turn. We strew it with our blunders, our misdeeds, our lost opportunities, with all the memorials of our inadequacy to our vocation. And with what a damning emphasis does it then blot us out! No easy fine, no mere apology or formal expiation, will satisfy the world̢۪s demands, but every pound of flesh exacted is soaked with all its blood. The subtlest forms of suffering known to man are connected with the poisonous humiliations incidental to these results." --William James
"Failure makes us envious. Success makes us greedy." --Mason Cooley
"I don't know the key to success, but the key to failure is never trying." --Bill Cosby
"Success is counted sweetest
By those who ne̢۪er succeed.
To comprehend a nectar
Requires sorest need." --Emily Dickinson
"Success is a consequence and must not be a goal." --Gustave Flaubert

I suppose I could have left this alone and claimed my "kill"....
But I thought it worth a bump.
So.....What do you say to yourself when things aren't going the way you want?

I just blame it ALL on the voters. It could never be that my photo is that bad. Or, I just say to myself... oh yeah, they hate it... and SMILE :-)

Every week when I get nailed by the voters, I vow never to come back. I failed at the never coming back part. :-)
