Quote of the Month:
“Above any of the
competitive success
we may have had,
this silly little game has
ended up
providing me
with such a wonderful
education
on how to relate with my
dog.
That was, and remains to be,
the main reason why I
started,
and continue to love,
playing this game.”
Rest is not
idleness,
and to
lie sometimes
on
the grass on a
summer day
listening to the
murmur of water,
or watching the
clouds float
across the sky,
is hardly a
waste of time.

DECEMBER 2010 Quote of
the Month:
The leaders who work
most effectively
never say "I."
That's not because
they have trained
themselves
not to say "I". They
don't think "I".
They think "we";
they think "team."
They understand
their job to make
the team function.
They accept
responsibility and
don't sidestep it,
but "we" gets the
credit.
This is what creates
trust, what enables
you
to get the task done.

are "slacking off" or "blowing
us off", when really they are
just reading our body language,
picking up subtle hints we
aren't even aware we're sending,
and obeying what we don't
realize we're telling them.

Hvis du tror du greier noe,
så greier du det.
Hvis du tror du ikke greier det, har du rett!

If you think you can, you
can.
If you think you can't, you are right.
Alle har
alltid
vært hjelpsomme mot meg,
alltid villige til å ta seg tid
og til å gi treningstips.
Dette vil alltid være
det viktigste i agility
for meg og mine hunder:
Dele med og bry seg om andre.

Everyone has always
been very helpful to me,
always willing to share time
and training tips.
That will always be
the most important thing in agility
for me and for my dogs:
Sharing and caring.

Vårt liv er bare et
speilbilde av våre handlinger.
Hvis du ønsker mer kjærlighet i verden,
må du gi mer kjærlighet.
Hvis du vil ha mer kompetanse i laget ditt,
forbedre din kompetanse.
Livet vil gi deg tilbake alt du har gitt.
Ditt agility løp er ikke en tilfeldighet.
Det er et speilbilde av deg.

Our life is simply
a reflection of our actions.
If you want more love in the world,
create more love in your heart.
If you want more competence in your team,
improve your competence.
Life will give you back everything you have given to it.
Your agility run is not a coincidence.
It's a reflection of you.
