YOUTHFUL HONESTY
Iowa's governor Terry Branstad tells a funny story about his first year in office when he took his family around the state to demonstrate all the things to do in Iowa. He and his wife, Chris, along with their eight-year-old, Eric, were at a crafts fair near Cedar Rapids. As planned, television cameras turned out to hear the governor extol the virtues of tourism in Iowa.
Unexpectedly, a television reporter thrust the microphone into little Eric Branstad's face. "What do you think about all this?" he was asked. The boy looked into the camera and said, "I'm hot, I'm bored and I want to go home."

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.
