Reflections
• "Success doesn't mean the absence of failures: it means winning the war, not every battle.
• To know that EVEN ONE life breathes easier because you have lived. This is to have succeeded.
• A duty which becomes a desire will ultimately become a delight.
• I slept and dreamt that life was a joy. I woke and saw that life was duty, acted and behold duty was a joy.
• He who desires to see the living God face to face should not seek him in the empty firmament of his mind, but in human love.
• Health is not every thing but every thing is nothing without health.
• There is nothing noble about being superior to some other man. True nobility is in being superior to your previous self.
• Excellence comes from working with dedication, without thinking of rewards & without intervention of one's ego.
• Material possessions are certainly necessary, but man is composed of soul as well as of body. He throws his life off balance if he concentrates on material things and neglects to give attention to his nobler side - his mind, heart and soul.

Keep Your Courage

• A smile costs nothing, but it creates much.
• Thomas Edison failed approximately 1000 times while working on the bulb.
• Henry Ford was broke at the age of 40
• Young Bethoven was told that he had no talent for music.
• Abraham Lincoln had string of failures in business and elections before he became President of United States of America at the age of 52.

 

Doors of life
There is door that opens wide, inviting you to enter; This door is opportunity and life is at its centre.
Broaden your mind's horizon… exchange the "no" for "yes", This open door of adventure will lead to new success.
Behold, the open door of love, Of friendly brotherhood; He who opens up these doors will build a world of good.
These doors all open outward., and you may enter free, If you but have the vision for opportunity.
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! Treat them nutritionally 
Feed them, and feed them well Treat them antiseptically do not let them get infected! with the germs of negative thoughts.
Treat them responsibly! Respond! Act! Do something with them!
Why Worry?
There are only two things to worry about; Either you are well or you are sick. If you are well, then there is nothing to worry about;
But if you are sick there are only two things to worry about; Whether you will die or live; If you get well, there is
nothing to worry about; But if you die; there are only two things to worry about; Whether you go to heaven or to hell.
If you go to heaven there is nothing to worry about; And if you go to hell you'll be so busy shaking hands with
old friends, you won't have time to worry.

SO WHY WORRY???
Don't worry………. Be Happy.
