Ten Wavs to Start Sentences:

1. The most common sentence pattern is to write the subject first,


followed by the verb: Weeds are important too because birds eat the
seeds.

2. Reverse the sentence to begin with the dependent adverbial


clause: Because birds eat the seeds, weeds are important too.

3. Begin a sentence with an infinitive phrase used as an adjective: To


get a head start, he arrived 20 minutes early.

4. Use an infinitive phrase as a subject: To get a head start was his


goal.

5. Begin a sentence with a prepositional phrase and end it with the


subject: From out of nowhere came a loud shriek.

6. Begin a sentence with an adjective: Sad about being alone in the


house, the puppy lay down and waited by the front door.

7. Begin with an adverb: Regretfully, I will not be able to attend the


wedding.
8. Begin with an "ing" participial phrase: Muttering to himself, the
old man shuffled throughout the house.

9. Begin with an "ed" participial phrase: Angered by the long wait, I


slammed the phone down on the receiver.

10. Start with a transitional word: Finally, we found the lost keys.
SIX KEYS TO SUCCESS

January 4, 1999

I want to share with you something that I came up with that I call
"The six keys to success".

Right off the bat:


Don't confuse how much money one has as to his or her success!

These keys will not unlock any opportunities of success without first having a strong and unfailing faith in
God or that Being which is greater than you.
Please don't go through life as your "own little god."

I encourage you to memorize these six keys


by using the word ADVICE to do so.

1. Attitude
Bloom where you are planted. You have a choice to get back up after temporary set backs.
Attitude is a small thing that makes a big difference!

2. Direction
If you don't know where you are going, any road will get you there. Write your short term goals
down on paper. I have discovered and continue to discover that putting your dreams and goals
down on paper lock in or focus your belief that they can be achieved--even if you have to take a
course correction in achieving your goals. Success comes in cans, failure comes in can'ts.

3. Values
Explore what is important to you. Maybe it is family, friends, your spirituality or working hard at
any given task. I can assure you that your priorities will change as you grow older. Very important
that you value yourself and treat yourself like the valuable gift from God that you are.

4. Interests
Birds of a feather flock together. This is to say that if you are hanging around winners or others
with a "can do" mind-set, you'll likely adapt to this same kind of thinking. Remember--"SUCCESS
LEAVES CLUES!

5. Commitment
Feelings may change, commitments do not. "Success is getting up one more time than you fall." I
have often wanted to give up, and then I must think to myself about what the consequences of
giving up will be. Generally, this is more than enough of a motivation to make us stick to the task
at hand even if we don't feel like it. When the task is achieved, Whow!--IT FEELS GREAT!

6. Encouragement
Be an encourager and comforter to friends that are feeling discouraged. I promise that you will
not regret this as you will be encouraged by one, if not many, when you are feeling down.
Encouragement and love are contagious qualities that can change the minds of the most
stubborn and "hard-to-get-along-with" people you know. I have seen it happen over and over
again.

Hang tough, press on, & NEVER, EVER, EVER, quit!
