There Is No Time Like "Present" And There Is No Present Like "Time"

A man is not old until regrets take a place of dream. Regrets looks back. Worry looks around. Vision looks up. Life can be understood backward, but it must be lived forward. The past should only be viewed with gratitude for the good things. So look backward with gratitude and look forward with confidence. Your past is the start of your fresh start.

A wise man says "I've shut the door on yesterday and thrown the key away; tomorrow holds no fear for me, since I've found today". Use the past as a launching pad. Dreams of the future are more valuable than the history of the past. Never build your future around your past. The past is over.

To succeed, you must be willing to shed part of your previous life. What lies behind us is insignificant compared to what lies ahead. Don't make the mistake of letting yesterday use up too much of today.

One of the deceptive beliefs of those who live an unproductive life is that "today" is not an important day. Everyday comes to us bearing gifts. Do what need to, when it ought to be done whether you like it or not. Scratch opportunity when it itches.

Life is made up of constant call to action. Time flies but it's up to us to be the pilot. Productive people get ahead during the time that others waste. Make quick use of the moment because you postpone your life, when you can't make up your mind.

There is no time like "present" and there is no present like "time". Those who take advantage of their advantage, obtain the advantage.

The Obstacles in Our Way

In ancient times, a king had a boulder placed on a roadway. Then he hid himself and watched to see if anyone would remove the huge rock. Some of the king’s wealthiest merchants and courtiers came by and simply walked around it. Many loudly blamed the king for not keeping the roads clear, but none did anything about getting the big stone out of the way. Then a peasant came along carrying a load of vegetables. On approaching the boulder, the peasant laid down his burden and tried to move the stone to the side of the road. After much pushing and straining, he finally succeeded. As the peasant picked up his load of vegetables, he noticed a purse lying in the road where the boulder had been. The purse contained many gold coins and a note from the king indicating that the gold was for the person who removed the boulder from the roadway. The peasant learned what many others never understand. Every obstacle presents an opportunity to improve one’s condition.

Never Chase A Lie

Broken promises cause the world's greatest accidents. You can't make wrong work. Honesty is the first chapter of the book of wisdom. Never chase a lie: if you leave it alone, it will run itself to death. Everything you add to the truth, you inevitably subtract from it.  A lie will add to your troubles, subtract from your energy, multiply your difficulties and divide your effectiveness. Never view anything positively that makes you break your word. Make your word your bond.

Get Caught Dreaming...

Ideas are like rabbits. You get a couple and learn how to handle them and pretty soon, you get a dozen. You'll get more out of every part of your life, if you stay incurably curious.  Get caught dreaming. It's never too late for you to start thinking more creatively. Unfortunately, dreams are the first casualty in life - people seems to give them up quicker than anything for reality. The important thing is to not stop questioning. Never loose a holy curiosity!
