Breaking down Hate
"Take it as a reminder: The enemy is not Arab people or the Muslim religion. The enemy is fanaticism, extremism, intolerance, hate. The madmen who

commandeered those planes don´t represent the followers of Islam any more

than the madmen who blow up abortion clinics represent the followers of

Christ."

--Leonard Pitts, Jr., Miami Herald columnist

THE THREE KINDS OF RISKS

THE THREE KINDS OF RISKS
A wise person takes the risks that are more than compensated by the likelihood of succeeding and how rich the reward. An ordinary person that takes a risk tends to focus only on the size of the reward. A fool ignores both and focuses only on personal fears and desires regardless of how unlikely the success or small the reward.

Personality

Always be a first-rate version of your self
instead of a second-rate version of somebody else
- JUDY GARLAND -

Courage

Courage is fear holding on a minute longer.

- Thomas Fuller

Independence

Independence is a great gift. Use it to your best ability. If you use others to hold you up, you will never learn to live for yourself, and you will always need someone else to do everything for you.

Live Fully

Most people hold onto the past, look forward to the future, and do not

embrace the present. Only those who can appreciate what they have now live fully.

--Tsai Chih

Achievement

If I have seen further, it is

by standing on the shoulders of giants.

Everyone Plays The Fool Sometimes

We all do foolish things. It is part of being human. The good news is you don't have to feel foolish or let it keep you from doing what you want to do. Letting go of the fear of looking foolish or doing something foolish frees you to live life more fully. Once you realize that foolishness is all part of life you can begin to enjoy every moment, even the foolish ones.

Leadership

A leader must listen to himself, to his own inner voice of direction, strength and conviction. The inner voice is the foundation, which holds firm against the waves of resentment and resistance to be able to conquer his fears, doubts and failures. This inner voice makes him gentle, strong, confident and unyielding as needed.
