"The longer I live,
the more I am certain that the great difference between
the great and the insignificant, is energy
invincible determination--a purpose once fixed,
and then death or victory."
"Nothing in the world can take the place of persistence.
Talent will not;
nothing is more common than unsuccessful men with talent.
Genius will not;
unrewarded genius is almost a proverb.
Education will not;
the world is full of educated derelicts.
Persistence and determination are omnipotent.
The slogan press on
has solved and always will solve the problems of the human race.
No person was ever honored for what he received.
Honor has been the reward for what he gave."

As a means to success,
determination has this advantage over talent
that it does not have to be recognized by others.
When the world says, "Give up,"
Hope whispers, "Try it one more time."

"Adhere to your purpose
and you will soon feel as well as you ever did.
On the contrary, if you falter, and give up,
you will lose the power of keeping any resolution,
and will regret it all your life."
"Most people give up just when they're about to achieve success.
They quit on the one-yard line.
They give up a the last minute of the game,
one foot from a winning touchdown."
"Keep away from people who belittle your ambitions.
Small people always do that,
but the really great make you feel that you, too, can become great."

Permanence, perseverance and persistence
in spite of all obstacles, discouragement s, and impossibilities:
It is this, that in all things distinguishes the strong soul from the weak
Our greatest weakness lies in giving up.
The most certain way to succeed is
always to try just one more time.

Perseverance is the hard work you do after
you get tired of doing the hard work you already did.
Perseverance is not a long race;
it is many short races one after another.
Don’t be discouraged.
It’s often the last key in the bunch that opens the lock.

Hi dawn,
Can bc residents compete in npc regional shows in WA state and oregon? Also, I noticed npc regional shows have a 'novice' class, I'm assuming for first time competitors? Any reason why cbbf /bcabba doesn't have this? Seems like a nice way to get the feet wet
well technically they are not supposed toQuote:

i had this argument with another BC resident that moved to the US last yr
i lived in the US for 10 yrs so unless they had changed the rule....
so i emailed the NPC and i was still correct
BCABBA has NOVICE SHOWS
we have the tier system
once you qualify you move to next tier
as far as CBBF it depends on the province
like in Ontario theres different levels you have to move thru to even get to provincials (they have alot more competitors than here in BC)
where here in BC its top 3 in novice show does to provincials

"It takes a little courage, and a little self-control.
And some grim determination,
If you want to reach the goal.
It takes a great deal of striving,
and a firm and stern-set chin.
No matter what the battle,
if you really want to win,
there's no easy path to glory.
There is no road to fame.
Life, however we may view it,
Is no simple parlor game;
But its prizes call for fighting,
For endurance and for grit;
For a rugged disposition that will not quit."
"When nothing seems to help,
I go and look at a stonecutter
hammering away at his rock
perhaps a hundred times
without as much as a crack showing in it.
Yet at the hundred and first blow
it will split in two,
and I know it was not that blow that did it
but all that had gone before."

Boomer is her dog....
Lessons from Boomer
I’ve made a few observations of my dog and I think we can learn a thing or two from Boomer.
These are dedicated to those who have started or are going to start their contest prep for November
and to those who continue to prep for Nationals.
1. Boomer eats the exact same kibble every single day and he’s still so excited every time we pour food into his bowl.
Remember this as your menu shrinks. At least there’s more than one item on it.
2. No matter what time of the day it is, Boomer is always excited to go get his exercise.
It could be his second or third time out that day, and he’ll still wag his tail with the same enthusiasm.
If you feel like complaining about your second or third session of cardio for the day, embrace it instead.
3. Never skip out on a good stretch. Downward dog, anyone?
4. Drink plenty of water. If you start to dream of soda, milk, juice, wine, or anything of the sort,
remember that Boomer’s only beverage is water and HE LOVES IT! He doesn’t even need coffee to get him going for the day.
5. Get plenty of rest. If everyone’s out for the day, sneak in a nap on the couch.
You should probably sleep on your bed, but who will know?
6. Obey your master. Do what you’re told. Obey long enough and you might get a treat.
Remember, no sneaking treats when no one’s looking.
7. Bad things could happen if Boomer were to get into chocolate. You should stay away from it too.
Get excited and have fun! Wake up each morning eager for the day to begin. You know Boomer will be.
Give it 100% because it’s a dog-eat-dog world out there. If you don’t, someone beside you on stage did.

“There is no comparison between
that which is lost by not succeeding
and that lost by not trying.”
“Perseverance is failing 19 times
and succeeding the 20th.”
============================================
so i'm always asked how my tilapia is made
and whatz crazy is i eat it 6 x's a day right now
and i'm a person who's always hated fish
but Brandon makes it in a way that i love it more than chicken
here's the recipe
TILAPIA made by: Brandon Best
I pour on freshly squeezed lemon juice,
sprinkle pepper on it,
and put the fillets in a pan on medium high heat.
Let it sit long enough so that the pan side browns/blackens
(depending on how done you like it).
The indicator I use is that when you see the edges start to curl up slightly, it is ready to flip.
You should be able to get a clean flip without it falling apart.
Once you flip them,
the excess lemon juice and pepper mixture that was initially poured on it,
pour that onto them.
This side will not take as long as the other side.
And when you remove,
pour more of the fresh squeezed juice on it,
and let it sit for two to three minutes.
=========================================
NOTE: we prefer the Tilapia from Sav-on Foods or PriceSmart
it's thinner but seems to taste better and less fishy
Note 2: it MUST HAVE THE REAL LEMON
once he ran out and it just wasn't the same
just sayin
but then again remember i don't like fish
Looks good! i'll try it for sure. any more easy recipes :)
