Faced With A Mountain

Never let a problem become an excuse.

When faced with a mountain, I will not quit! I will keep on striving until I climb over, find a pass through, tunnel underneath - or simply stay and turn the mountain into a gold mine, with God's help!

Robert H. Schuller

Different Kinds of Good Weather

Sunshine is delicious, rain is refreshing, wind braces us up, snow is exhilarating; there is really no such thing as bad weather, only different kinds of good weather.

John Ruskin

The Greatest Salesman in the World

1. Today I begin a new life.
2. I will greet this day with love in my heart.
3. I will persist until I succeed.
4. I am nature's greatest miracles. I am unique.
5. I will live this day as if it is my last. And if it is not, I shall fall to my knees and give thanks.
6. Today I will be master over my emotions.
7. I will laugh at the world.
8. Today I will multiply my value a hundredfold.
9. This is the time. This is the place. I am the man. I will act now.
10. I will pray for guidance.

Beating Procrastination

Beginning is half done! Every beginner is a winner. At least he won over inertia and procrastination and a fear of starting.

Robert H Schuller

Being Cool

Nothing gives one person so much advantage over another as to remain always cool and unruffled under all circumstances.

Thomas Jefferson

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 get kicked in the teeth

Give the world the best you've got anyway

Reader’s Digest, Dec 1982

Why not?

You see things; and you say 'Why?' But I dream things that never were; and I say 'Why not?' 

George Bernard Shaw

Aim High

The greatest danger for most of us is not that our aim is too high and we miss it, but that it is too low and we reach it.

Michelangelo

The Creed for Optimists

1. Promise yourself to be so strong that nothing can disturb your peace of mind.

2. Promise yourself to talk health, happiness and prosperity to every person you meet.

3. Promise yourself to make all your friends feel that there is something in them.

4. Promise yourself to look at the sunny side of everything and make your optimism come true.

5. Promise yourself to think only of the best, to work only for the best and to expect only the best.

6. Promise yourself to be just as enthusiastic about the success of others as you are about your own.

7. Promise yourself to forget the mistakes of the past and to press on to the greater achievements of the future.

8. Promise yourself to wear a friendly countenance at all times and give every living creature you meet a smile.

9. Promise yourself to spend so much time improving yourself that you have no time left to criticize others.

10. Promise yourself to be too large for worry, too noble for anger, too strong for fear, and too happy to permit the present of trouble.
