As we work through the financial unrest we have in our country today I reflect on the following quotation from Albert Einstein.

"Learn from yesterday, live for today, hope for tomorrow."  
Albert Einstein

“Today is Now”

•  Today is here. I will start with a smile, and resolve to be agreeable. I will not criticize. I refuse to waste my valuable time (team work).
•  Today has one thing in which I know I am equal with others -- time. All of us draw the same salary in seconds, minutes, hours. (team work)
•  Today I will not waste my time, because the minutes I wasted yesterday are as lost as a vanished thought. (stay on schedule)
•  Today I refuse to spend time worrying about what might happen. I am going to spend my time making things happen. (make the client and your team happy)
•  Today I am determined to study to improve myself, for tomorrow I may be wanted, and I must not be found lacking. (Get up to speed on sustainability and P3 delivery,further your education; LEED)
•  Today I am determined to do things I should do. I firmly determine to stop doing the things I should not do. (make right decisions)
•  Today I begin by doing, and not wasting my time. In one week I will be miles beyond the person I am today. (determination to turn things around)
•  Today I will not imagine what I would do if things were different. They are not different. I will make success with what material I have. (make no excuses)
•  Today I will stop saying, "If I had time," for I never will "find time" for anything -- if I want time, I must take it. (use your time effectively)
•  Today I will act toward other people as though this might be my last day on earth. I will not wait for tomorrow. Tomorrow never comes. (just do it, it makes you feel much better)
