Here’s one of a series of 101 cartoons I drew for a book ‘SMILE YOUR WAY TO SUCCESS!’ which I collaborated on with Peter Sinclair of Motivational Memo. I might as well show them on here as they’re just gathering cyber dust on my computer.
‘To quit doing that which is good, in order to pursue that which is best, is not quitting at all.’
I can’t find the word ‘quit’ in my ‘success’ dictionary. However, if I discover that something is not working effectively in my life, and after I’m convinced that the roadblock is secure, I’m never afraid to discard it. Then it’s time to swiftly pick up the baton that will carry me on to victory. In this day and age of incredible change we must remain fluid, ever ready to move and ever flexible. Our principles and life goals must remain solidly planted in rock, yet the road we travel on, to fulfil these and reach them, is to be set in sand. Don’t hang on to ‘good’ if ‘best’ is knocking at your door.
The reason I’ve been pretty quiet on here for the last few weeks is because I’ve been working flat out on my new Cartoon Motivators web site. This e-commerce thing has been something totally new to me and a bit of a headache – even though I’ve been work with some great web designers.
Please have a look and leave your comments. Best wishes, Richard

Here’s a few quotes I dug out…
If you’re not getting better, you’re getting worse. ~ Pat Riley
If you stop learning, you stop creating history and become history.
Average ones compete with others. Great ones compete with themselves. ~Vadim Kotelnikov
I’m competitive with myself. I always try to push past my own borders.
Great things are done by a series of small things brought together.
– Vincent van Gogh
“Watch your thoughts, for they become words.
Watch your words, for they become actions.
Watch your actions, for they become habits.
Watch your habits, for they become character.
Watch your character, for it becomes your destiny.”
“Take time to deliberate; but when the time for action arrives, stop thinking and go in.”
– Napoleon Bonaparte
When commissioning cartoons… Pick TWO of the three options!
Good+Fast = Expensive Choose this and I’ll postpone every other project on my drawing board, my round of golf or give up my footy match ticket and work day and night to get your job done. It WILL NOT BE CHEAP though!
Good+Cheap = Slow Choose good and cheap and I’ll still do a great job at a discounted price. But you’ll have to be patient while I fit you in after my higher paying clients, updating my web site, going down the gym, my footy matches, rounds of golf and liquid lunches!
Fast+Cheap = Inferior Choose this option at your peril. It will still be delivered on time but it will be inferior, as many corners as possible will be cut. You know the saying ‘You get what you pay for!’ The least favorable option in my opinion!
‘To quit doing that which is good, in order to pursue that which is best, is not quitting at all.’
