Here are a few quotes of inspiration and some food for thought about communication and life ... Listen Up!

" More important than IQ, more potent than emotional intelligence, stronger than physical ability is the power to communicate clearly and influentially. The power to use your voice, your body, your words with precision and impact to GET THE RESULTS YOU WANT." http://www.holographicuniversity.com/

“The brain is a wonderful thing. It starts working the minute you are born and never stops until you get up to speak in public.” – Mark Twain

"€œA talk is a voyage. It must be charted. The speaker who starts nowhere, usually gets there." - Dale Carnegie

"In football you always get judged on your last game. Whoever you are, or how amazing you are, it's the last game that everyone has seen." - Thierry Henry

"Successful people are not necessary smarter than anyone else, they are simply more effective."

Ross Mackay

"Be brief on the logic and reason portion of your presentation. There are probably about a thousand facts about an automobile, but you don't need them all to make a decision. About a half dozen will do." - Jim Rohn

"The effectiveness of any presentation depends greatly upon our confidence in the quality and appropriateness of that presentation's content." - Tony Jeary

"They may forget what you said, but they will never forget how you made them feel." - Carl. W. Buechner

"Regardless of how you feel inside, always try to look like a winner. Even if you are behind, a sustained look of control and confidence can give you a mental edge that results in victory." - Arthur Ashe

"First learn the meaning of what you say, and then speak." - Epictetus

"The ability to speak eloquently is not to be confused with having something to say." - Michael P. Hart

"Communication is the most important skill in life. We spend most of our waking hours communicating". - Stephen R. Covey

"Do not say a little in many words but a great deal in a few." - Pythagoras

"Words are, of course, the most powerful drug used by mankind." - Rudyard Kipling

"Everything has been said before, but since nobody listens we have to keep going back and beginning all over again." - Andre Gide

"You have it easily in your power to increase the sum total of this world's happiness now. How? By giving a few words of sincere appreciation to someone who is lonely or discouraged. Perhaps you will forget tomorrow the kind words you say today, but the recipient may cherish them over a lifetime." - Dale Carnegie

"Nature gave us one tongue and two ears so we could hear twice as much as we speak." - Epictetus

"I like to listen. I have learned a great deal from listening carefully. Most people never listen." - Ernest Hemingway

"One kind word can warm three winter months." - Japanese Proverb

"The will to win, the desire to succeed, the urge to reach your full potential... these are the keys that will unlock the door to personal excellence." - Eddie Robins

"The secret of influencing people lies not so much in being a good talker as in being a good listener. Most people, in trying to win others to their way of thinking, do too much talking. Let the other people talk themselves out. They know more about their business than you do. So ask them questions. Let them tell you a few things." - Dale Carnegie

"A mediocre idea that generates enthusiasm will go further than a great idea that inspires no one." - Mary Kay Ash

"Be still when you have nothing to say; when genuine passion moves you, say what you've got to say, and say it hot." - D. H. Lawrence

"There are always three speeches, for every one you actually gave. The one you practiced, the one you gave, and the one you wish you gave." - Dale Carnegie

"Effective communication is 20% what you know and 80% how you feel about what you know! - Jim Rohn?

"If you are content with yourself, you'll stop taking those little steps forward and begin taking big steps backward." - Greg Maddox

"A man can succeed at almost anything for which he has unlimited enthusiasm." - Charles Schwab

"Kind words can be short and easy to speak, but their echoes are truly endless." - Mother Teresa

"Saying nothing... sometimes says the most." - Emily Dickinson

"Perseverance is failing nineteen times and succeeding the twentieth." - Julie Andrews

"Often the difference between a successful man and a failure is not one's better abilities or ideas, but the courage that one has to bet on his ideas, to take a calculated risk and to act." - Dr. Maxwell Maltz

â€œNo one ever attains very eminent success by simply doing what is required of him; it is the amount and excellence of what is over and above the required that determines the greatness of ultimate distinction.â€â€” Charles Kendall Adams

"The will to win, the desire to succeed, the urge to reach your full potential... these are the keys that will unlock the door to personal excellence." - Eddie Robinson

"To know the road ahead, ask those coming back." - Chinese proverb

"Certainly a leader needs a clear vision of the organization and where it is going, but a vision is of little value unless it is shared in a way so as to generate enthusiasm and commitment. Leadership and communication are inseparable." - Claude Taylor

"People will be persuaded more by the depth of your conviction than the height of your logic; more by your enthusiasm than any proof you can offer." - David Peoples

"YOU are the BIGGEST UNIQUE SELLING PROPOSITION! Many presentation tools can support your message, however your ability to connect with an audience with powerful presence, presentation and communication skills are the key to your success! - Michelle Ray

"Even if you're on the right track, you'll get run over if you just sit there." - Will Rogers

"What we say is important... for in most cases the mouth speaks what the heart is full of." - Jim Beggs

"A good speaker is a good listener who hears what lessor speakers fail to." - Somers White

"Every speaker has a mouth; An arrangement rather neat. Sometimes it's filled with wisdom. Sometimes it's filled with feet." - Robert Orben

"Only the prepared speaker deserves to be confident." - Dale Carnegie

"A man does not know what he is saying until he knows what he is not saying." - Gilbert K. Chesterton

"They who lack talent expect things to happen without effort. They ascribe failure to a lack of inspiration or ability, or to misfortune, rather than to insufficient application. At the core of every true talent there is an awareness of the difficulties inherent in any achievement, and the confidence that by persistence and patience something worthwhile will be realized. Thus talent is a species of vigor." - Eric Hoffer

"Communication is a continual balancing
