Success means many different things to different people. I have collected some of my favorite Success quotes and included them below. Hope you find them as inspiring as I have. Enjoy!

9. Remembering why Remembrance Day is so important posted November 11, 2010
   

   Remembrance Day has always been an important day to me. From as far back as I can recall, my parents talked about our grandparents and great-grandparents along with their friends who lived through the First and Second World Wars. I also remember going to school assemblies, year after year, from kindergarten through to university where we’d all share a moment of silence together on the 11th day of the 11th month as the clock chimed the 11th minute of the 11th hour. In that group and its deafening silence, I remembered. I hope you take the time at 11:11 this morning to be thankful for all those that have sacrificed for us to have the lives that we do today. I love Canada and everything it stands for. Thank you to all the members of the armed forces, their families, and all those who were strong for us – the generations whom have followed. We are forever thankful and remember all of you today.
