If you believe in yourself and have the courage, the determination, the dedication, the competitive drive and if yo are willing to sacrifice the little things in life and pay the price for the things that are worthwhile, it can be done...- Vince Lombardi
Perfection is something you never stop working at. There is always a better way. You can always look forward to a perfect life and career. But more often, life and career are not perfect. Don't wait for a perfect day, its enough that you do something to make it wonderful.--not perfect...
If we have GODs word in our mind and hearth, he can put the right words in our mouth
Do not try to be smart when you do your work, do not put on airs when you are in difficulties. Better a hardworking man who has plenty of everything than a pretentious man at loss for a meal. Be modest in your self-esteem and value yourself at your proper worth
Do not desert an old friend; the new one will not be his match. New friend, new wine; when it grows old, you drink it with pleasure. Do not envy the sinner his success, you do not know what turn his career will take. Do not take pleasure in what pleases the godless; remember they will not go unpunished to their grave. Keep your distance from the man who has the power to death and you will not be haunted by the fear of dying. If you approach him, make no false move, or he may take your life.
In prosperity you cannot always tell a true friend, but in adversity you cannot mistake an enemy. When a man is doing well his enemies are sad, when he is doing badly, even a friend will keep his distance.
Happy the man who has not sinned in speech and who need feel no remorse for sins Happy the man whose own soul does not accuse him and who has never given up hope
Wisdom is bright, and does not grow dim. By those who love her she is readily seen, and found by those who look for her. Quick to anticipate those who desire her, she makes herself known to them. Watch for her early and you will have no trouble; you will find her sitting at your gates. Even to think about her is understanding fully grown; be on the alert for her anxiety will quickly leave you. She herself walks about looking for those who are worthy of her and graciously shows herself to them as they go, in every thought of their coming to meet them. Of her the most sure beginning is the desire for discipline, care for discipline means loving her, loving her means keeping her laws, obeying her laws guarantees incorruptibility, incorruptibility brings near to GOD; thus desire for Wisdom leads to sovereignty. If then, despots of nations, you delights in throne and sceptre, honour Wisdom, thus to reign for ever.
SUPERIOR leaders get things done with very little motion. They impart instructions not thorough a few deeds. They keep informed about everything but interfere hardly at all. They are catalysts, and though things would not get done as well if they were not there, when they succeed they take no credit. And, because they take no credit, credit never leaves them. LAO-TZU
I BELIEVE THAT ANYONE CAN CONQUER FEAR BY DOING THE THINGS HE FEARS TO DO, PROVIDED HE KEEPS DOING THEM UNTIL HE GETS RECORD OF SUCCESSFUL EXPERIENCE BEHIND HIM. Eleanor Roosevelt THE plainest sign of wisdom is a continual cheerfulness: her state is like that of things in the regions above the moon, always clear and serene. MICHEL DE MONTAIGNE
TRUTH never plays false roles of any kind, which is why people are so surprised when meeting it. Everyone must decide whether he wants the uncompromising truths or a counterfeit version of truth. Real wisdom consists of recommending the truth to you at every opportunity. –VERNON HOWARD
IF there is no struggle there is progress. Those who profess to favor freedom and yet deprecate agitation, are men who want crops without plowing up the ground, they want rain without thunder and lightning. They want the ocean without awful roar of its many waters. This struggle may be a moral one, and it may be both moral and physical, but it must be a struggle. Power concedes nothing without a demand. It never did and it never will. -frederick douglass
Success is not the key to happiness. Happiness is the key to success...If you love what you are doing, you will be successful...-albert schweitzer
WISDOM is the supreme part of happiness..-sophocles
If you understand, things are just they are: if you don’t understand, thing are just they are…zen proverb
Constant kindness can accomplish much. As the sun makes ice melt, kindness cause misunderstanding,mistrust, and hostility to evaporate. ALBERT SCHWEITZER To be willing to suffer in order to create is one thing;to realize that one's creation necessitates one's suffering, the suffering is one of the greatest of God's gifts, is almost to reach a mystical solution to the problem of evil. J.W.SULLIVAN
SO an ancient once said, "Accept the anxieties and difficulties of this life". Don't expect your practice to be clear of obstacles. Without hindrances the mind that seeks enlightenment may be burnt out. So an ancient once said, "Attain deliverance in disturbances." ZEN MASTER KYONG HO BY three methods we may learn wisdom: First, by reflection, which is noblest; Second, by imitation, which is easiset; and third by experience, which is the bitterest. CONFUCIUS
