I look forward to a time in the not so distant future when we no longer look forward to 'firsts' as milestones women have yet to achieve but we look back on them as historic events that continue to teach and inspire.

We wanted Nike to be the world's best sports and fitness company. Once you say that you have a focus. You don't end up making wing tips or sponsoring the next Rolling Stones world tour.

March on. Do not tarry. To go forward is to move toward perfection. March on and fear not the thorns or the sharp stones on life's path.

What makes the Stones' arrogance so divine is that we all believe that long ago and far away they weren't rich and famous but poor and struggling just like us.

The stones themselves are thick with history and those cats that dash through the alleyways must surely be the ghosts of the famous dead in feline disguise.

It was the labor movement that helped secure so much of what we take for granted today. The 40-hour work week the minimum wage family leave health insurance Social Security Medicare retirement plans. The cornerstones of the middle-class security all bear the union label.

I looked at some of the statues of Jesus they were just stones with no life. When they said that God is three I was puzzled even more but could not argue. I believed it simply because I had to have respect for the faith of my parents.

The foundation stones for a balanced success are honesty character integrity faith love and loyalty.

Develop success from failures. Discouragement and failure are two of the surest stepping stones to success.

My path has not been determined. I shall have more experiences and pass many more milestones.
