Always do your best. What you plant now, you will harvest later.
I will love the light for it shows me the way, yet I will endure the darkness because it shows me the stars.
I am not a human being, i am a human becoming.
Without enthusiasm you are doomed to a life of mediocrity, but with it you can accomplish miracles.
Weak is he who permits his thoughts to control his actions; strong is he who forces his actions to control his thoughts.
Realize that true happiness lies within you. Waste no time and effort searching for peace and contentment and joy in the world outside. Remember that there is no happiness in having or in getting, but only in giving. Reach out. Share. Smile. Hug. Happiness is a perfume you cannot pour on others without getting a few drops on yourself.
Never allow anyone to rain on your parade and thus cast a pall of gloom and defeat on the entire day. Remember that no talent, no self-denial, no brains, no character, are required to set up in the fault-finding business. Nothing external can have any power over you unless you permit it. Your time is too precious to be sacrificed in wasted days combating the menial forces of hate, jealously, and envy. Guard your fragile life carefully. Only God can shape a flower, but any foolish child can pull it to pieces.
Never neglect the little things. Never skimp on that extra effort, that additional few minutes, that soft word of praise or thanks, that delivery of the very best that you can do. It does not matter what others think, it is of prime importance, however, what you think about you. You can never do your best, which should always be your trademark, if you are cutting corners and shirking responsibilities. You are special. Act it. Never neglect the little things.
I will persist. I will always take another step. If that is of no avail I will take another, and yet another.
Always render more and better service than is expected of you, no matter what your task may be.
