Feedback on today’s Slice column

The first item reminded Bob Launhardt of a story he heard motivational speaker Cavett Robert tell many years ago.

Robert’s phone rang in the middle of the night. Robert told the caller he had the wrong number. The caller persisted in believing he had dialed correctly.

Finally, an exasperated Robert told the guy on the phone, “Friend! Have I ever lied to you before?”

Launhardt also passed along a few more Cavett Robert quotes.

“If you don’t think every day is a good day, just try missing one.”

“Any man who selects a goal in life which can be fully achieved has already defined his own limitations.”

“Character is the ability to carry out a good resolution long after the excitement of the moment has passed.”
