It is discouraging how many people are shocked by honesty and how few by deceit. Education must provide the opportunities for self-fulfillment; it can at best provide a rich and challenging environment for the individual to explore, in his own way Everything will change. The only question is growing up or decaying. Nothing can add more power to your life than concentrating all your energies on a limited set of targets. Luck is when preparation meets opportunity. Discouragement is not the absence of adequacy but the absence of courage. Every adversity, every failure, every heartache carries with it the seed on an equal or greater benefit. The life of inner peace, being harmonious and without stress, is the easiest type of existence. When you do nothing, you feel overwhelmed and powerless. But when you get involved, you feel the sense of hope and accomplishment that comes from knowing you are working to make things better. When you blame others, you give up your power to change. |
