Thought for the Week

This quote is taken from the 2009 book Peaks and Valleys by Spencer Johnson, M.D. If you recognize the name, but can't make the connection, he is the author of Who Moved My Cheese?

"To Stay on a Peak Longer: Appreciate and Manage Your Good Times--Be humble and grateful. Do more of what got you there. Keep making things better. Do more for others. Save resources for your upcoming Valleys."

This is a MUST READ!
