But the actual quote, which I found on the web afterwards is "Action is a great <b>restorer,</b> and builder of confidence ..."<br /><br />I know it wasn't necessary to complete the entire quotation to figure out which letters were missing, but it was an interesting challenge. <br /><br />I do word iannouhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11567838775493877306noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7457579213342860026.post-8188737379315631152009-07-29T13:17:00.415-06:002009-07-29T13:17:00.415-06:00I kept thinking about this puzzle for an hour.

I guessed the missing letters correctly, but after I submitted my response, I googled the quotes and I found out I didn't get the first one quite right.<br /><br />So, maybe the point should go to whoever (ok, whomever) can get the all the words right -- without googling it, of course iannouhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11567838775493877306noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7457579213342860026.post-81756141140045922012009-07-28T08:56:43.456-06:002009-07-28T08:56:43.456-06:00Iannou: I'm glad that proved to be a little mo...Iannou: I'm glad that proved to be a little more difficult--you obviously need a challenge;-)Veronica Baighttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14699213044999575738noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7457579213342860026.post-28091957458067218152009-07-27T15:13:52.348-06:002009-07-27T15:13:52.348-06:00This was a real toughie!

Action is a great store and builder of confidence. Inaction is not only the result, but the cause, of fear. Perhaps the action you take will be successful; perhaps different action or adjustments will have to follow.
