Imagination is the foundation of all thinking.
Without seeing the possibility, we cannot achieve the outcome.
Imagination
Copyright Angela Maiers 2008
Curious brains are active brains,
and active brains become smart brains.
Curiosity

PerseverancePerseverance is not only the ability to get done what needs to be done --
but to continue the effort no matter what.
Copyright Angela Maiers 2008
Self Awareness
Self Awareness is the ability to think and exist inside --
and outside of ourselves simultaneously.
Copyright Angela Maiers 2008
CourageSuccess is the by-product of taking risks,
not letting fear hold us back, and taking the plunge
