Invest In Others

There is nothing quite so dead as a self-centered man - a man who holds himself up as a self-made success and measures himself and is pleased with the result. Don't become a legend in your own mind. The man who believes in nothing but himself lives in a very small world. 

The best way to be happy is to forget yourself and focus on other people. The higher you go in life, the more dependent you become on other people. 

Serving others is one of life's most awesome priviledges. The most satisfying thing in life is to have been able to give a large part of one self to others. Hunt for the good points in people, then do something to help them. Love others more than they deserve. You can't help others without helping yourself. 

Kindness is one of the most difficult things to give away since it usually comes back to you. If you sow a seed of kindness you enjoy the perpetual harvest. You can never expect too much of yourself in the matter of giving yourself to others. 

There are 3 keys to more abundant living: caring about others, daring for others and sharing with others. Assign yourself the purpose of making others happy and successful. People have a way of becoming what you encourage them to be. "You'll always have everything you want in life if you'll help enough other people get what they want". 

There are two types of people in the world: those who come into a room and say "Here I am!" and those who come in and say, "Ah, there you are". If you cannot win, make the one ahead of you break the record. Invest in others. It pays great dividends. A good way to forget your own trouble, is to help others out of theirs. Work together with others.

BEING YOU...

I t's been said that the biggest enemy of 'great' is 'good'. The biggest enemy most of us face is 'ourselves'. The nagging voice says: be like him, you're not worthy; do what he does, follow where others are going. When you're trying to be like someone else, the best you can ever be is "second best" . Why compare yourself with others? No one in the entire world can do a better job of being you than you. We all do it or have done it at some point in our lives; we compare ourselves to others and gauge where we are based on what we observe them to be doing. When you stop comparing yourself to others, you tend to produce more results in your life, you are able to improve yourself, and get a better vision for your life . The easiest thing to be in the world is YOU . The most difficult thing to be is what other people want you to be. Don't let them put you in that position. Until you make peace with who you are, you will never be cont...

Be Yourself

Be an original individual and not a photocopy. However, you may try to change your personality, but you can't. A congolese proverb says, " Wood may remain ten years in the water, but it will never become a crocodile". Beware! Many spend their entire lives trying to change the way they were made. "To be nobody but yourself" says E.E. Cummings " but in a world which is doing its best day and night, to make everybody else - means to fight the hardest battle which any human being can fight and never stop fighting." The greatest tragedy than can strike an individual is to fail to know himself.  Syndney Harris said "Ninety percent of the world's woe comes from people not knowing themselves, their abilities, their frailties and their real virtues". Whatever you are, be a good one.  You are number one; everyone in the world is your number two. Wart Disney said, "the more you are like yourself, the less you are like anyone els...

Character..

Character is the aggregate sum total of one's distinctive moral and mental qualities. Every man has in himself a continent of undiscovered character, however it is not a natural endowment we are born with.  It is something that each individual forms of itself, with a continuous process in every thought, every action, every deed, every feeling which contributes to the education  faculty of our attitudes and habits.  Character is just like cloud of smoke, it can never be concealed or hidden because it will find its way out. Character is a magnet that attracts the right people to you. It is the real foundation of all worth while success.  "Thoughts leads on purposes, purposes go forth in action, action from habits, habits decides character, and character defines our destiny" (Tryon Edwards). Would your reputation recognize your character if they met in the dark? Would the boy you were be proud of the man you are?
