“One of the secrets of life is to make stepping-stones out of stumbling blocks.” – Jack Penn

A seemingly unstable stock market.

Government shutdowns.

Hollywood sexual predators.

Big Bang Theory ended its last season.

With a host of worldwide problems like those listed above, we all have daily opportunities to make stepping stones out of stumbling blocks. How we respond to each of them is the key. People responded to this Jack Penn quote by making it the 14^th most popular quote of 2018.

During the workweek I send out, potentially, hundreds of emails. I work for a nonprofit organization that employees over 70,000 people and my department has the opportunity to communicate with each of those individuals.

At the close of each email I post a quote from my collection of favorites. I change the quote on my outgoing work email messages once every three days. In 2018, there were 20 email messages that drew positive feedback from my coworkers. I have collected those quotes and ranked them based upon amount of feedback into the top 20 for the year. These are quotes that inspired my colleagues, moved them or made them laugh. Or in today’s case, made them think!
