1. The Reverence
Believe nothing just
because a so-called wise
person said it. Believe
nothing just because a
belief is generally held.
Believe nothing just
because it is said in
ancient books. Believe
nothing just because it
is said to be of divine
origin. Believe nothing
just because someone
else believes it. Believe
only what you yourself
test and judge to be
true.
2. Success
"When things go wrong as they sometimes will
When the road you're trudging seems all
uphill. When 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 everyone 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 may succeed with another blow.
Success is failure turned inside out -
The silver tint of the clouds of doubt.
And you never can tell how close you are.
It may be near when it seems so far:
So stick to the fight when you're hardest
hit
It's when things seem worst that you must
not QUIT.
3. Challenge
Let others lead small
lives,
but not you.
Let others argue over
small things,
but not you.
Let others cry over
small hurts,
but not you.
Let others leave their
future
in someone else's
hands,
but not you.
4. Potential and Purpose
Our deepest fear is not
that we are inadequate.
Our deepest fear is that
we are powerful beyond
measure. It is our light not
our darkness that frightens
us. Actually, who are you
not to be? You are a child
of God. Your playing small
doesn't serve the world.
There's nothing enlightened
about shrinking so that
other people won't feel
insecure around you. We
were born to make manifest
the glory of God that is
within us.
5. Attitude Boss!!!
...Attitude to me is more
important than facts. It is
more important than the
past, than education, than
money, than circumstances,
than failures, than success,
than what other people think,
say or do. It is more
important than appearance,
gift, or skill. It will make or
break a company...a church...a
home.
The remarkable thing is we
have a choice every day
regarding the attitude we
will embrace for that day...I
am convinced that life is 10%
what happens to me and 90%
how I react to it. And so it is
with you... we are in charge
of our attitudes.
- Charles Swindoll
6. Kindness
How far you go in life
depends on your being
tender with the young,
compassionate with the
aged, sympathetic with
the striving and tolerant
of the weak and the
strong. Because someday
in life you will have been
all of these.
- George Washington Carver
7. Remember
Half the world is composed of people
who have something to say and
can't, and the other half who have
nothing to say and keep on saying it.
Robert Frost
