Interesting Items

             Keep a Watch

          Watch your thoughts they become words.

          Watch your words they become actions.

          Watch your actions they become habits.

          Watch your habits they become character.

          Watch your character it becomes your destiny.

             Worry

          We have only two things to worry about.

          One is that things will never get back to normal.

          The second is that they already have.

 

          Independence

We go into business because we hate being told what to do.

But it really gets worse, think about it.

The Police won't allow me to park outside my business.

The Taxation Department tells me how to keep my books.

 My bank manager tells me how much money I'm allowed to spend.

The freight company tells me how to pack my parcels.

The customers tell me how their parts must be repaired.

My accountant tells me what records to keep.

The Council tells me how much noise I can make.

The Unions tell me who I can employ and fire.

And to top it off I'm married as well.

          Earth's History

If the Earth's history could be compressed into a single             year, the first eight months would be completely without  life.

 The next two months would see only the most primitive           creatures, and mammals wouldn't appear until the second          week in December.

No Homo sapiens appear until 11.45pm on December 31st.

Mans entire history would occupy the final 60 seconds              before  midnight.

 

          If you Want

          If you want to be interesting, be interested.

          If you want to be pleased, be pleasing.

          If you want to be loved, be lovable.

          If you want to be helped, be helpful.

          If you want to be respected, be respectful.

 

         Winners and Losers 

          The winner is always a part of the solution.

          The loser is always a part of the problem.

          The winner always has a plan.

          The loser always has an excuse.

          The winner says, let me do it for you.

          The loser always says, it is not my job.

          The winner seeks a solution to every problem.

          The loser always sees problems for all situations.

          The winner says, it may be difficult, but it is possible.

          The loser says, it may be possible, but it is too difficult.

          Are you a winner?

 

I wish all the things that are happening to me now, happened    to me when I was 18 years old, Because I knew all the              answers then.

 

          Three things in human life are important.

          The first is to be kind.

          The second is to be kind, and the third is to be kind.
