THOUGHT(S) OF DAY

The purpose of life, after all, is to live it, to taste experience to the utmost, to reach out eagerly and without fear for newer and richer experience. -Eleanor Roosevelt

There are no secrets to success: Don’t waste time looking for them.  Success is the result of perfection, hard work, learning from failure, loyalty to those for whom you work, and persistence. -Colin Powell

Success is to be measured not so much by the position that one has reached in life as by the obstacles that one has overcome while trying to succeed. -Booker T. Washington

I am not judged by the number of times I fail, but by the number of times I succeed.  And the number of times I succeed is in direct proportion to the number of times I can fail and keep trying! -Tom Hopkins

There is more in us than we know.  If we can be made to see it, perhaps, for the rest of our lives, we will be unwilling to settle for less. -Kurt Hahn


 Wisdom comes when we examine the experiences God gives us and discern what we have (or should have) learned from them. Nothing that has happened to us should be wasted. Because it is sometimes painful, often we do not take the time or effort to discover the reason for the "gift" of our personal experiences. When we do not learn what we should, we stop growing until we learn from those same lessons through another experience tailor-made by God to make us mature. Better yet, let's learn from these experiences and look for things that we will not need to undergo exactly the same way! By this, it will increase our individual capacity to learn greater lessons and gain deeper wisdom."
