A quote by F. David Stanley from our Relief Society lesson on work taught by Jann D.:
"Hard work is a blessing of God. It involves going after it "with all your heart, might, mind and strength". That alone is the difference between the average and the excellent."
"Great athletes are hard workers. Point, rebounds, assists, tackles, goals and home runs areall the result of long hours of painstaking practice and hard work. The bulk of that practice will always be on your own, away from the coach. Victory is brought to pass by one's personal diligence and commitment to hard work. The view of a champion and the glory that surrounds him, must never be overshadowed by the long process of becoming one. There is a time of preparation and a time of victory. The second mile of hard work is what makes the difference between the exhilaration of achievement and the acceptance of mediocrity."
