Life . ° | •

After rain comes sunshine. The closer to the source, the clearer the water. We notice faults of others and easily forget our own.Self-praise stinks. “If a man is in health, he doesn’t need to take anybody else’s temperature to know where he is going.“He who lives shall see.” “To succeed in life, you need two […]

Listen • | •

Everything in writing begins with language. Language begins with listening. We have two ears and one tongue so that we would listen more and talk less. You cannot truly listen to anyone and do anything else at the same time. Most of the successful people I’ve known are the ones who do more listening than […]

titles of Glory Past • | •

Dreams cannot exist in the past. They live in the present, and you carry them with you tomorrow. The best problem in life is living in past glory. Past glories are poor feeding. The past is a place of reference not a place of residence. Your past is done, so forget it. Your future is […]

Remember • | • Tomorrow

Don’t close the door behind you;You might wanna go through it someday.Don’t burn that bridge;You might wanna cross it someday. Your best friends today;Could be your worst enemies tomorrow.Your worst enemies today;Could be your best friends tomorrow. Don’t burn the bridge;Don’t cross the door. Refrain;And if you can’t say something good about somebodyOh shut up. […]

Character • | • perceptions

First impressions can be strongAbout those we see around.Yet how often are they wrong?That is the truth I’ve found. Not all who cry are weak.Not everyone who looks can see.Not all who are quiet are meek.Not all who nod agree.

Hard Decisions • | •

The first step towards getting somewhere is to decide that you are not going to stay where you are. Sometimes the hardest thing and the right thing are the same. Good decisions come from experience. Experience comes from making bad decisions. Make a firm decision: Whatever happens, I will be happy. I will be strong. […]

Take That Big Step in Life • | •

Life is an exciting journey but the things we want are rarely, if ever, handed to us on a plate. We have to work towards them, and we start by taking one single, small step. The only impossible journey is the one you never begin. When I feel like procrastinating or making an excuse for […]

Loyalty • | •

On the list of our values and principles, loyalty scores really high, yet unlike other values, loyalty is less subjective. There are no degrees of loyalty. We are either loyal to someone or something or we are not. Loyalty is not conditional. The only people I owe loyalty to are those who never made me […]

Never look down on yourself • | •

Never look down yourself. Be who you are and say what you feel, because those who mind don’t matter and those who matter don’t mind. Be willing to fail or succeed on who you really are. Don’t ever try to be anything else. We must be our own before we can be another’s. Great leaders […]
