a word to myself

Learning to move toward our goals and desires ... one step at a time - often just one baby-step at a time - and learning to love the doing; learning to use the accumulation of time. When we multiply tiny pieces of time with small increments of daily effort, we too will find we can accomplish magnificent things. We can change the world.

Don't worry!

If you worry about winning you won't, if you focus on doing your very best you will.

Don’t quit!

When things go wrong, as they sometimes will,

When the road you are trudging seems all uphill,

When the funds are low and the debts are high,

And you want to smile but you have to sigh,

When care is pressing you down a bit,

Rest, if you must........ but don't you quit!

Life is queer with its twists and turns,

As every one of us sometimes learns,

And many a failure turns about

When he might have won had he stuck it out;

Don't give up, though the pace seems slow........

You might succeed with another blow….

Success is failure turned inside out......

The silver tint of the clouds of doubt......

And you can never tell how close you are,

It may be near when it seems afar;

So stick to the fight when you are hardest hit.....

It's when things get worse that you mustn't quit!

Anyway

People are unreasonable, illogical and self-centered.
Love them anyway.

 

If you do good, people will accuse you of selfish ulterior motives.
Do good anyway.

 

If you are successful, you will win false friends and true enemies.
Succeed anyway.

 

Honesty and frankness make you vulnerable.
Be honest and frank anyway.

 

The good you do today will be forgotten tomorrow.
Do good anyway.

 

The biggest people with the biggest  ideas can be shot down by the smallest people with the smallest minds.
Think big anyway.

 

People favor underdogs but follow only top dogs.
Fight for some underdogs anyway.

 

What you spent years building may be destroyed overnight.
Build anyway.

 

Give the world the best you have and you'll get kicked in the teeth.
Give the world the best you've got anyway.

Success Is A Journey, Not a Destination...

There are no secrets to success... It is the result of preparation, hard work, and learning from failure.

Success is ....

To laugh often and much; to win the respect of intelligent people and the affection of children; to earn the appreciation of honest critics and endure the betrayal of false friends; to appreciate beauty, to find the best in others; to leave the world a little better; whether by a healthy child, a garden patch or a redeemed social condition; to know even one life has breathed easier because you have lived. This is the meaning of success.


-Ralph Waldo Emerson

Ideas......

Treat ideas like newborn babies.

Treat them tenderly…

They can get killed pretty quickly

Treat them gently…

They can be bruised in infancy.

Treat them respectfully…

They could be the most valuable things

That ever came into your life.

Treat them protectively…

Don't let them get away.

Treat them nutritionally…

Feed them, and feed them well.

Treat them antiseptically…

Don't let them get infected with the gems

Of negative thoughts.

Treat them responsibly!

Respond!

       Act !

             Do something with them !

Failure means........

Failure doesn't mean you are a failure…it does mean you haven't succeeded yet.

Failure doesn't mean you have accomplished nothing… it does mean you have learned something.

Failure doesn't mean you have been a fool… it does mean you had a lot of faith.

Failure doesn't mean you've been disgraced…it does mean you were willing to try.

Failure doesn't mean you don't have it…it does mean you have to do something in a different way.

Failure doesn't mean you are inferior…it does mean you are not prefect.

Failure doesn't mean you've wasted your life… it does mean you have a reason to start afresh.

Failure doesn't mean you've wasted your life... it does mean you must try harder.

Failure doesn't mean you'll never make it… it does mean it will take a little longer.

Failure doesn't mean God has abandoned you… it does mean God has a better idea!

My Life

The road to success is not straight.
There is a curve called Failure,
A loop called Confusion,
Speed bumps called Friends,
Red lights called Enemies,
Caution lights called Family,
You will have flats called Jobs.
