Wise words

Read and understand the following wise words!

Admit your own mistakes openly, maybe even joyful. Encourage your associates to do likewise by commiserating with them. Never castigate. Babies learn to walk by falling down. If you beat a baby every time he falls down, he’ll never care much for walking.

Robert Townsend

The art of living successfully consists of being able to hold two opposite ideas in tension at the same time: first, first to make long-term plans as if we were going to live forever, and second, to conduct ourselves daily as if we were going to die tomorrow.

Sydney J. Harris

As long as I live, if I can choose where I live, I’ll be in a place that has a window looking out a river. What makes a river so restful to people is that it doesn’t have any doubt-it is sure to get where it is going, and it doesn’t want to go anywhere else.

Hal Boyle

Death is that final separation from all we have worked for, all that we have built up, all that is near and dear to use. It is too bad that dying the last thing we do. Because it could teach us so much about living.

Robert M. Harold

Every successful man I have heard of has done the best he could with conditions as he found them, and not waited until the next for better.

E.W. Howe

 

 Experience proves that most time is wasted, not in hours, but in minutes. A bucket with a small hole in the bottom gets just as empty as a bucket that is deliberately kicked over.

Paul J. Meyer

For good or ill, your conversation is your advertisement. Every time you open your mouth you let men look into your mind.

John Fowles

If a man without a sense of smell declared that this yellow rose I hold had no scent, we should know that he was wrong. The defect is in him, not in the flower. It is the same with a man who says there is no God. It merely means that he is without the capacity to discern his presence.

Sir Ralph Richardson
