ENSURE QUALITY LIFE
You can't control the length of your life, but you can control its width and depth.
You can't control the contour of your countenance, but you can control its expression.
You can't control the other person's opportunities, but you can seize upon your own and make the best of them.

You can't control the weather, but you can control the atmosphere which surrounds you.
You can't control the distance that your head will be above the ground, but you can control the level of the contents of that head.
You can't control the other person's annoying faults, but you can see to it that you yourself do not develop or habour similar propensities.
a verse from Southern Statesman newsletter - extracted from 'Speaker's Sourcebook II, Glen Van Ekeren, Prentice Hall, 1994
Of all the thirty-six alternatives, running away is best - Chinese Proverb

THE WISE WAY - Parodoxical Commandments

  • People are often unreasonable, illogical and self-centred; Forgive them anyway
  • If you are kind, people may accuse you of selfish, ulterior motives; Be kind anyway.
  • If you are successful, you will win some false friends and true enemies; Succeed anyway.
  • If you are honest and frank, people may cheat you; Be honest and frank anyway.
  • What you spend years building, someone may destroy overnight; Build anyway.
  • If you find serenity and happiness, others may be jealous; Be happy anyway.
  • The good you do today, people may often forget tomorrow; Do good anyway.
  • Give the world the best you have, and it may never be enough; Give the world the best you got anyway.
  • You see, in the final analysis, it is all between you and GOD; It was never between you and them anyway.
