Monday, March 5, 2018 - Motivational Quotes of the Day! Good Morning Everyone!
Today is: "Be Yourself Day!" Why Not?
"Why worry about who cares what you're thinking, how you're feeling, what you're wanting to do, or where you're wanting to go. Nobody knows you better than yourself, so be yourself, because you can tell your story the way it was meant to be told!" — COL (Ret) Mikel Burroughs
The Quote in the Picture Reads Today: "By being yourself, you put something wonderful in the world that was not there before." — Edwin Elliot
"Be yourself; everyone else is already taken." — Oscar Wilde
"About all you can do in life is be who you are. Some people will love you for you. Most will love you for what you can do for them, and some won’t like you at all." — Rita Mae Brown
"You are you. Now, isn’t that pleasant?" — Dr. Seuss
"Always be a first rate version of yourself and not a second rate version of someone else." — Judy Garland
"The individual has always had to struggle to keep from being overwhelmed by the tribe. If you try it, you will be lonely often, and sometimes frightened. But no price is too high to pay for the privilege of owning yourself." — Friedrich Nietzsche
"To be yourself in a world that is constantly trying to make you something else is the greatest accomplishment." — Ralph Waldo Emerson

Going with Dr. Seuss again today Col. Also liking the Oscar Wilde quote. So often we think the grass is always greener- I like being me. Busy week coming up and the next few months are peppered with class, training, a huge inspection, and my last excursion into Kosovo. Never slows down- and I kinda like it that way. Here is to a great week COL Mikel J. Burroughs

Maj Marty Hogan - Are you saying you do not like "green eggs and ham?" I have a veteran dad that recently passed, who always taught me to appreciate everyone's differences as a positive thing and never apologize for how different I was. Happy Monday!

COL Mikel J. Burroughs - thanks. Taking EM (daughter) for an evaluation this afternoon (sop)...always a potentially tedious and disheartening experience, mostly for us (not her). Prayerfully, it will go well.

"To be yourself in a world that is constantly trying to make you something else is the greatest accomplishment." — Ralph Waldo Emerson
And Emerson hits home! Funny how in the military we are trained and taught uniformity and conformity in the spectrum of mission accomlishment, yet even in the reserves there are things I've noticed soldiers do to retain a little bit of individuality despite the team mentality. Be yourself, be true to yourself, and the rest will follow. Wake up better than you were yesterday. Best the best that you can be, and others will gravitate towards you.

MSgt Billy Zuber
Each member of the team is blessed with individual talents, and skill sets. All contribute to the success of the same mission. Individuals, working together, combined with strong leadership, is a force that is hard to defeat.
