|Venad| "MOTIVATION"

" Guard well your spare moments. They are like uncut diamonds."
--- Ralph Waldo Emerson --- Anonymous


" We are often so caught up in our destination that we forget to appreciate the journey, especially the goodness of the people we meet along the way. Appreciation is a wonderful feeling, don't overlook it."

S L O W D A N C E:

Have you ever watched kids
on a merry-go-round
Or listened to the rain
slapping on the ground?

Ever followed a butterfly's erratic flight
Or gazed at the sun into the fading night?

You better slow down
Don't dance so fast
Time is short
The music won't last
Do you run through each day on the fly
When you ask "How are you?"
do you hear the reply?

When the day is done,
do you lie in your bed
With the next hundred chores
running through your head?

You'd better slow down
Don't dance so fast
Time is short
The music won't last

Ever told your child,
We'll do it tomorrow
And in your haste, not see his sorrow?

Ever lost touch,
Let a good friendship die
'Cause you never had time
to call and say "Hi"?

You'd better slow down
Don't dance so fast
Time is short
The music won't last

When you run so fast to get somewhere
You miss half the fun of getting there.
When you worry and hurry through your day,
It is like an unopened gift....
Thrown away...

Life is not a race.
Do take it slower
Hear the music
Before the song is over.

THE BOTTOM LINE

FACE IT, nobody owes you a living.
What you achieve, or fail to achieve in your lifetime
Is directly related to what you do or fail to do.
No one chooses his parent or childhood,
But you can choose your own direction.
Everyone has problems and obstacles to overcome,
But that too is relative to each individual.
NOTHING IS CARVED IN STONE!

You can change anything in your life
If you want to badly enough.
Excuses are for losers! Those who take responsibility for their actions
Are the real winners in life.
Winners meet life challenges head on
Knowing there are guarantees, and give it all they've got
And never think it's too late or too early to begin.

Time plays no favorites
And will pass whether you act or not
Take control of your LIFE
Dare to Dream and take risks.......
Compete!
If you aren't willing to work for your goals
Don't expect others to.
BELIEVE IN YOURSELF!

The Girl In The Glass

When you get what you want in the struggle of life
And the world makes you queen for a day...
Go to the mirror and take a look at yourself
And see what that girl has to say.

It isn't your mother, father or husband
Whose judgement on you must pass.
The person whose verdict counts most in your life
Is the girl staring back from the glass.

You may be like Jack Horner and chisel a plum
And think you are a wonderful girl.
But the girl in the glass says you are a bum
If you can't look her straight in the eye.

You may fool the whole world down the pathway of years
And get pats on your back as you pass.
But your final reward will be heartache and tears
If you've cheated the girl in the glass.

" When you are standing on a table:
Be careful.....
For it is a lot easier for someone to pull you down from the table
Than for you to help them up onto it."
--- Lisa Frisby
Something I tell myself when I feel like someone is trying to tear me down.


" In the end, being first and achieving all your goals doesn't happen all the time. Still, I think you should dream big dreams, as long as you're willing to work toward those dreams. Never look back and say, 'If only I had done this or that, I could have reached my dreams.' When you have a dream, your first and only goal should be to prepare yourself as best you can and try your best. That's all anyone can ask. When you do that, as my dad says, no matter what the scoreboard reads, you'll always walk away a winner."

DON'T QUIT

When things go wrong
As they sometimes will,
When the road you're trudging seems all uphill,
When the funds are low and the debts are high,
And you want to smile but you have to sigh,
When care is pressing you down a bit...
Rest if you must -- but don't you quit.

Life is queer with its twists and turns,
As every one of us sometimes learns,
And many a failure turns about,
When he might have won if he'd stuck it out.
Don't give up, though the pace seems slow
You may succeed with another blow.

Often the goal is nearer than
It seems to a faint and faltering man;
Often the struggler has given up
When he might have captured the victor's cup,
And he learned too late, when the night slipped down,
How close he was to the golden crown.

Success is failure turned inside out,
The silver tint of the clouds of doubt,
And you never can tell how close you are,
It may be near when it seems afar,
So stick to the fight when you're hardest hit,
It's when things go wrong
That you mustn't quit.
--- Author Unknown --- Sent in by Steve Hedderson --- Ontario, Canada


" Rules can be made and therefore reshaped or broken.
Principles cannot be arbitrarily made...
They must never be broken.
Rules are temporal, principals are eternal.
Rules are helpful, principles are essential."

" Fools scatter about their many attributes,
The wise keep such within;
A piece of straw floats upon the surface of water
A precious gemstone sinks to the bottom!
Therefore, it is best to disregard the seen
And concentrate upon the unseen.
Only within the latter may riches be found."
--- Ancient Greek parable --- Sent in by Annice LeGrande --- Maryland

" Imagination - sparks dreams and laughter,
Dissolves barriers, expands knowledge and lights the mind.
Imagination also holds captive in dark places
Both the weak and strong, liquefies courage,
Builds enormous insurmountable fear."
--- Donnie Hall --- Kentucky


You're a very special person
Though at times you may feel bad
You are special to your mother
And important to your dad
Your parents may have chided you
And you've never understood -
That they wanted what is best for you
And did it for your good.

Because you are so special
They want to see you grow -
Into the kind of person -
That people like to know.
Life isn't always easy
But you have to hold on tight
To the knowledge that you're special
And always do what's right.

If you learn to cope with problems
And be careful what you say
If you keep the ten commandments
Then there will come a day -
In the not too distant future
When you'll be very glad
That you were important
To a loving Mom and Dad.

" Nobody is ever old until the day
That dreams are replaced by regrets...
Some people see mistakes as failure in life
Whilst others see it as gaining experience
For handling what they will have to overcome
Tomorrow..
Are you preparing yourself for tomorrow
Or are you like the fool who wants only to
Follow in the footsteps of another
Never to experience the greatness of personal victory?"
--- Jannie Putter --- South Africa


" When I was a young man I observed that nine out of the ten things I did were failures. Not wanting to be a failure, I did ten times more work."

" Love is not a fairy tale that is always soft and cozy.
It is the journey of Life.
It transcends slowly the superficial emotions
Of anger, jealousy, hatred.
It climbs higher with each passing day of difficulties.
It rides life's storms one by one,
Until finally, after years of effort,
It attains the highest level of existence known to man.
It merges in that state of being, mortals call Heaven."
--- Written by Dr. Nirvikar Dahiya --- India

" Lose this day loitering,
'Twill be the same story
Tomorrow -- and the next more dilatory.
Then indecision brings its own delays,
And days are lost lamenting over days!
Are you in earnest? Seize this very minute!
What you can do, or dream you can --begin it!
Courage has genius, power, and magic in it.
Only engage, and then the mind grows heated.
Begin it, and the work will be completed."
--- Goethe --- Sent in by Larry Collister --- California


BEGIN AGAIN

One of the best things we can do in our lives is this:
Begin again.

Begin to see yourself as you were
When you were the happiest and strongest you've ever been.

Begin to remember what worked for you
(and what worked against you),
And try to capture the magic again.

Begin to remember how natural it was when you were a child --
To live a lifetime each day.

Begin to forget the baggage you have carried with you
For years:
The problems that don't matter anymore,
The tears that cried themselves away,
And the worries that are going to wash away
On the shore of tomorrow's new beginnings.

Tomorrow tells us it will be here every new day of our lives;
And if we will be wise,
We will turn away from the problems of the past
And give the future -- and ourselves -- a chance
To become the best of friends.

Sometimes all it takes is a wish in the heart to let yourself ..
Begin again.
--- Collin McCarty

But we must not allow our past to control us either.
We must learn and grow from our past failures,
Disappointments, pains and experiences.
Reset our goals and priorities... and move forward.
Start TODAY, by Un-Ty-ing the knots that LIMIT you!"
--- Ty Howard --- Maryland
