All men and women are born, live suffer and die; what distinguishes us one from another is our dreams, whether they be dreams about worldly or unworldly things, and what we do to make them come about... We do not choose to be born. We do not choose our parents. We do not choose our historical epoch, the country of our birth, or the immediate circumstances of our upbringing. We do not, most of us, choose to die; nor do we choose the time and conditions of our death. But within this realm of choicelessness, we do choose how we live.[/b]
The greatness comes not when things go always good for you. But the greatness comes when you're really tested, when you take some knocks, some disappointments, when sadness comes. Because only if you've been in the deepest valley can you ever know how magnificent it is to be on the highest mountain.[b]
Learn how to carry a friendship greatly, whether or not it is returned. Why should one regret if the receiver is not equally generous? It never troubles the sun that some of his rays fall wide and vain into ungrateful space, and only a small part on the reflecting planet. Let your greatness educate the crude and cold companion. If he is unequal, he will presently pass away; but thou art enlarged by thy own shining.[/b]
All great achievers, all successful people, are those who have been able to control their time. All human beings have been created equal in one respect: each person has one thousand four hundred and fourty minutes each day. we must give our best time to our most challenging situation.It's not how much we do that matters; it's how much we get it don. According to(John Mason)"Don't spend a dollar's worth of time for ten cents' worth of results." We should choose to watch our time , not our watch.
One of the best timesavers is the ability to say no. Not saying no when you should is the one of the biggest wastes of time you will ever experience.[b]
