May 30, 2011 by Cathy Stucker 3 Comments

Here is this week’s Monday Morning Message from Wm. H. Danforth, founder of Ralston Purina: What is the Monday Morning Message?

Any fool can step on the gas, but it takes a real driver to steer his car and apply the brakes without accidents.

You have determined on your destination. You are steering your life to a definite goal. To cover the distance from where you are to where you are going is your job. There’s more to success than just “stepping on the gas.”

Here is this week’s Monday Morning Message from Wm. H. Danforth, founder of Ralston Purina: What is the Monday Morning Message?

Here is this week’s Monday Morning Message from Wm. H. Danforth, founder of Ralston Purina: What is the Monday Morning Message?

The great mass of humanity is satisfied with an ordinary level. Such people are not the worst, neither are they the best. Some of them even question any advance beyond the ordinary level. Their fight is simply to hold their own.

This week’s Monday Morning Message from Wm. H. Danforth, founder of Ralston Purina: What is the Monday Morning Message?

Here are three quotations form Henry Ford’s (pictured at right) book, “My Life and Work.”

He says of Thomas A. Edison: His knowledge is almost universal. He is interested in every conceivable subject, and he recognizes no limitations. He believes that all things are possible. At the same time, he keeps his feet on the ground. He goes forward step by step. He regards “impossible” as a description for that which we have not at the moment the knowledge to achieve.
