The Most Important Thing....

Your future comes one hour at a time. Never be disgraced when you make progress, no matter how slow or small. Small steps are a big idea. Nobody makes the greater mistake than someone who did nothing because he could only do a little.

You are always nearer than you think. The greatest oppurtunity is where you are. Do not despise your own place and hour. The most important thing in our lives is what we are doing now. Know the real value of today.

The regrets that most people experience in life comes from failing to act when having an oppurtunity. Be on the the look out for the oppurtunities God is sending your way.

"The time is always right to do the right thing. Be driven by excellence. The true measure of a person is in his height of ideals, breadth of sympathy, the depth of his convictions, and length of his patience. If you want greatness, then forget greatness and earnestly pursue what is right. Then you can find both. The biggest mistake you can make in life is not to be true to the best you know. Keep yourself clean and bright, you are the window through which you must see the world"

The most important thing is to begin, even though the first step is the hardest. Inches make champions. Value little things. One day you may look back and realize they were the big things. Take a small step right now, don't ignore the small things, the biggest dog was once a pup. Seize the moments!!

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?
