Coaching Quote of the Day 20th March 2015
“Mistakes are the portals of discovery.”
(James Joyce)
“Mistakes are the portals of discovery.”
(James Joyce)
Each Thursday I share the most RT’d quote(s) from the blogs twitter account over the previous week. Last week the most RT’d tweet was:
“It will never rain roses. When we want to have more roses, we must plant more roses.”
(George Eliot)
Tweeted on 10th March
The next highest amount of RT’s was also a tie between:
“What you leave behind is not what is engraved in stone monuments, but what is woven into the lives of others.”
(Pericles)
Tweeted on 11th March
“People rarely succeed unless they have fun in what they are doing.”
(Dale Carnegie)
Tweeted on 14th March
and
“Failure is the condiment that gives success its flavor.”
(Truman Capote) Tweeted on 15th March
Many thanks to everyone who shared the quotes above and the other quotes from last week. I know that there are various aspects that can influence if a quote attracts your attention – if you saw the tweet, personal style, if it speaks to something happening in your life at that moment etc.
(For those of you as geeky as I am and wondering what tool I’m using to measure individual RT’s this week I’ve been playing with www.twitonomy.com)
“Forgiveness is the economy of the heart… forgiveness saves the expense of anger, the cost of hatred, the waste of spirits.”

“First, to be able to love, then to learn that body and spirit are one.”
