“ A good character is the best tombstone. Those who loved you and were helped by you will remember you when forget-me-nots have withered. Carve your name on hearts, not on marble. ” ~Charles H. Spurgeon
“ The best way to get rid of a temptation is to yield to it; The best way to get rid of a fear is to face it. ” ~ Rahul.Pinnamaneni (1985-2066)
Dr.Stephen Covey's quotes
Live out of your imagination, not your history.
Between stimulus and response, one has the freedom to choose.
Don't argue for other people's weaknesses. Don't argue for your own. When you make a mistake, admit it, correct it, and learn from it -- immediately.
Every human has four endowments- self awareness, conscience, independent will and creative imagination. These give us the ultimate human freedom... The power to choose, to respond and to change.
Happiness can be defined, in part at least, as the fruit of the desire and the ability to sacrifice what we want now for what we want eventually.
If you're proactive, you don't have to wait for circumstances or other people to create perspective expanding experiences. You can consciously create your own.
Many people seem to think that success in one area can compensate for failure in other areas. But can it really?...True effectiveness requires balance.
