Roundup HOUSTON - Though Kevin Sumlin has never been big on inspirational quotes, the Houston coach came up with a motto to help his team maintain its focus amid all the national attention the Cougars have received this week.
Brian Melekian is a triathlete who filled a now-dormant personal Twitter page with inspirational quotes. "Obstacles are those frightful things you see when you take your eyes off your goal" (Henry Ford), for example. Melekian, who gets sports franchises off the ground for a living, tweets now as the United Football League's vice president of operations. But he remains partial to motivational words.
DAYTON -- Abraham Lincoln, Confucius, Gandhi, Vince Lombardi -- they've all come up with some inspirational quotes in their time. But the motivational saying positioned prominently on each player's cubicle in the University of Dayton locker room came from the Flyers' own Juwan Staten.
HOUSTON - Though Kevin Sumlin has never been big on inspirational quotes, the Houston coach came up with a motto to help his team maintain its focus amid all the national attention the Cougars have received this week. ESPN's popular "Gameday" program made its first-ever visit to the campus last week and the team was bombarded with media requests and responsibilities leading up to Saturday's regular-season home finale against SMU. The Cougars promptly marched to a 37-7 victory behind their best defensive performance of the year.
When a group of residents in Honey Brook decided to form a church, they began meeting in Honey Brook Elementary Center and in each other's homes in smaller groups during the week. Now, the members of Honey Brook Community Church hope funds raised through the sale of "Simply Wonderful" will help pay for a church building. The recipes, collected from church members and friends, cover all the usual categories - entrees, appetizers, desserts, etc. - but interspersed among these are inspirational quotes (termed "hints") and some poetry. For example, one hint states "For every minute of anger, I lose 60 seconds of happiness." Collectively, they offer a recipe for good living.
When the day turns into night, And you're way beyond my sight,
A few inspiring words can push people past the lack of motivation that often accompanies cold, winter mornings. For tea drinkers, there's nothing like a good cup of tea to get the day started.

It's our little thing," says Deborah Glasser, marketing director for Tata Global Beverages, which owns Good Earth Tea and has its U.S. headquarters in Montvale.
EVER SINCE I WAS A YOUNG GIRL, I loved inspirational quotes, tender autobiographies and biblical stories. Reading about people who triumphed over challenges taught me about the resilience of the human spirit, the importance of thankfulness and the richness of life. And in many ways, they planted within me the seeds that make me the person I am today. When I found pieces I liked, I would cut them from magazines or copy them out of books, collecting them in a folder. Sometimes, I would tack them up on my wall ... and you know what, things have not changed, for in my home, office and all around me, I choose to be surrounded by inspiration.
Gardena police Officer Eric Hyde is a self-proclaimed "cheeseball." He enjoys being the center of attention, he's known around the station for his playful sense of humor and he lives by uplifting movie quotes. I used to write inspirational quotes on 3-by-5 cards and hang them all over, to help keep me thinking positive," Hyde said with a laugh.
The same three key threads that permeated this conference (social media/Web 2.0 tools, learning methodologies, and sharing knowledge) were emphasized by the Knowledge Management (KM) Section in its preconference meeting on August 8 at Laval University. The meeting, titled Knowledge Sharing Strategies & Initiatives, featured an interactive discussion with Dave Pollard, VP of knowledge development at the Canadian Institute of Chartered Accountants. David Gurteen, who compared old KM practices and KM 2.0 that uses today's social tools, talked about his use of tools: the 6,000 pages on his Web site, newsletters, RSS, email feeds, media player, and more.
