Organisations and people who succeed, expand while others get smaller. They take risks while others conserve. They remain focused on the destination instead of the difficulties. The successful keep their eyes on the targets regardless of the challenges. Big thinking, massive actions, expansion and risk taking are necessary for our survival and future growth. We will never have all the answers. Our timing will never be perfect. There will always be obstacles and difficulties. However, success is our duty, obligation and responsibility. Successful people and organisations are highly goal oriented and always pay more attention to the target than the problem. Excuses are for people and organisations who refuse to take responsibility. People and organisations with a can do attitude approach every situation with the outlook that no matter what, it can be done. Challenges are the experiences that forge successful people and organisations' abilities.

    Page 1 1 of 540 DOCUMENTS USA TODAY October 4, 1991, Friday, FINAL EDITION Maree: A hand for homeland BYLINE: Dick Patrick SECTION: SPORTS; Pg. 2C LENGTH: 178 words Sydney Maree, who became a U.S. citizen in 1984, always wanted to help his home country of South Africa. Now, thanks to involvement in two public relations projects, the two-time Olympian and holder of U.S. records in the 1,500 and 5,000 meters thinks he has found vehicles for future contributions. ''South Africa has never needed help more,'' says Maree, 35, who grew up near Pretoria. ''Someone has to take re- sponsibility for the youth.'' Next week, Maree tours California middle and high schools for Shoot For Success, an essay contest and self-help project funded by Fujitsu America. Maree is also a spokesman for the Olympic Job Opportunity Program, which places athletes in jobs allowing them to train, as well as establish non- athletic careers. In South Africa, he says, too many black athletes are restricted to min- ing. His idea is eventually to establish both programs in South Africa: ''We cannot look at the South Africans and say, 'OK, you're free now, get up and walk.' Somebody has to take their hands and say, 'This is how you do it.' '' LANGUAGE: ENGLISH TYPE: Sportstalk Copyright 1991 Gannett Company Inc.
