THOUGHT for YOUR WEEK:

Your Example

By Catherine Pulsifer
 
The personal example you set will do more to convince someone than all the eloquent speeches in the world. When you expect others to demonstrate a certain type of behaviour, ask yourself if your behaviour exemplifies what you expect of others.
 

As Oliver Goldsmith once said,

 
If you take a piece of string and push it, it will not go in the direction you want. But, if you take that same piece of string and pull it along, the string will move in the same direction. That principle applies to people. Don't push them along; pull them along by your own actions, your behaviour, your enthusiasm, and your determination. Reflect on the words of Albert Schweitzer,  "Example is not the main thing in influencing others. It is the only thing."
 

What you do, and how you act,

has more influence on people than what you say!

THOUGHT for YOUR WEEK:
Great Minds
By Catherine Pulsifer

We all have great minds. What makes a difference is whether or not we use the full capability of our mind.

As Washington Irving once said,  "Great minds have purposes, others have wishes."

Those who have a "purpose" are active in setting goals and constantly working towards them.

Those who simply "wish", have no specific goals for themselves; they just go day to day allowing someone else to set their direction. Wishing for something occupies the mind but leaves the bank empty.

Use your "great mind", and set goals to achieve your purpose. Wishing is just as ineffective as worrying — neither accomplishes anything. Next time you find yourself wishing for something, remind yourself that wishing won't move you forward, but setting goals and taking action will!

QUOTE of the WEEK:
"I don't dwell in the past; I don't wallow in old events and emotions. I don't waste time on regret. No use going over and over the details of what already happened."

POEM for YOUR WEEK:
YESTERDAY IS GONE
Poet: Grant Ngobean
 
Live for today, hope for tomorrow
And forgot about yesterday...forgot
'I CAN'T ' for those are the words of a coward
And remember 'I WILL TRY' for those
Are the words of a potential winner?
 
The only way you can regret yesterday is
When you've never learnt anything from it 
And remember that what ever you worry about
It's in the past, there is nothing you can change or do about it,
Just accept to choose to see
Yesterday's problems as an opportunity to grow.
 
Worry is wasting today's time
Cluttering up tomorrow's opportunities
With yesterday's trouble.
How many times do we look back on?
An event and think, if only I had...
How many times do we do something that we wish hadn't done?
You can't change a past event,
Its yesterday, you can't change what has been done.
 
Do you call it regret, sorrow, repentance?
Do you think about what might have been?
Do you relieve an event the way it should have been?
Forget about regret and focus on today, not on yesterday.
Focus on what you can do, not what you didn't do.
 
The only thing to feel sorrow for
Is not living each day to the fullest,
The only thing to repent is to sincerely say I'm sorry!
Don't live your life regretting yesterday...
Live your life so tomorrow you won't regret today.
It doesn't matter what anyone thinks or say about you,
What really matters is what you think and say about your self...
Then what you do about it.

QUOTES for YOUR WEEK:
"Live in the present tense, facing the duty at hand without regret for the past or worry over the future."
 William de Witt Hyde
 
"When one door closes another door opens; but we so often look so long and so regretfully upon the closed door, that we do not see the ones which open for us."
 Alexander Graham Bell
 
"Guard well within yourself that treasure, kindness. Know how to give without hesitation, how to lose without regret, how to acquire without meanness."
 George Sand
 
"Regret is an appalling waste of energy; you can't build on it; it is only good for wallowing in."
 Katherine Mansfield
 
"Never look back and regret, look back and smile at what you have learned."
 Michelle C. Ustaszeski
 
"Regret is an odd emotion because it comes only upon reflection. Regret lacks immediacy, and so its power seldom influences events when it could do some good."
William O'Rourke

POEM for YOUR WEEK:
The Park Bench
By Author Unknown
 
The park bench was deserted as I sat down to read
Beneath the long, straggly branches of an old willow tree.
Disillusioned by life with good reason to frown,
For the world was intent on dragging me down.
And if that weren't enough to ruin my day,
A young boy out of breath approached me, all tired from play.
He stood right before me with his head tilted down
And said with great excitement, "Look what I found!"
 
In his hand was a flower, and what a pitiful sight,
With its petals all worn - not enough rain, or too little light.
Wanting him to take his dead flower and go off to play,
I faked a smile and then shifted away.
But instead of retreating he sat next to my side
And placed the flower to his nose and declared with overacted surprise,
"It sure smells pretty and it's beautiful too.
That's why I picked it; here, it's for you."
 
The weed before me was dying or dead.
Not vibrant of colors: orange, yellow or red.
But I knew I must take it, or he might never leave.
So I reached for the flower, and replied, "Just what I need."
But instead of him placing the flower in my hand,
He held it mid-air without reason or plan.
It was then that I noticed for the first time
That weed-toting boy could not see he was blind.
 
I heard my voice quiver; tears shone in the sun
As I thanked him for picking the very best one.
"You're welcome," he smiled, and then ran off to play,
Unaware of the impact he'd had on my day.
I sat there and wondered how he managed to see
A self-pitying woman beneath an old willow tree.
How did he know of my self-indulged plight?
Perhaps from his heart, he'd been blessed with true sight.
 
Through the eyes of a blind child, at last I could see
The problem was not with the world; the problem was me.
And for all of those times I myself had been blind,
I vowed to see the beauty in life, and appreciate every second that's mine.
And then I held that wilted flower up to my nose
And breathed in the fragrance of a beautiful rose
And smiled as I watched that young boy, another weed in hand,
About to change the life of an unsuspecting old man.

Enjoy the little things in life, for one day you may look back and realize they were the big things.

I would rather be able to appreciate things I cannot have than to have things I am not able to appreciate.

I had the blues because I had no shoes until upon the street, I met a man who had no feet.
