Be Inspired by This Famous Person

Anne Frank

Be inspired by the words of Anne Frank who suffered challenges that most of us could never imagine. She was born in Germany on June 12, 1929. As a German-Jew she was force to go into hiding during the Holocaust. Anne and her family spent 25 months hiding in rooms about her fathers office only to be betrayed to the Nazis. Along with her family she was deported to a Nazi concentration camps where Anne died of typhus nine months later (March 1945). She was only fifteen years old.

Her dairy was first published in 1947 and has been read by millions. We hope her words encourage you and inspire you. Despite her age, she had wisdom that most of us can only hope for.

Inspirational words of wisdom from Anne Frank:

I keep my ideals, because in spite of everything I still believe that people are really good at heart. I simply can't build up my hopes on a foundation consisting of confusion, misery and death.

Anne Frank

The best remedy for those who are afraid, lonely or unhappy is to go outside, somewhere where they can be quiet, alone with the heavens, nature and God. Because only then does one feel that all is as it should be.

Anne Frank

The final forming of a person's character lies in their own hands.

Anne Frank

Think of all the beauty still left around you and be happy.

Anne Frank

Parents can only give good advice or put them on the right paths, but the final forming of a person's character lies in their own hands.

Anne Frank

And finally I twist my heart round again, so that the bad is on the outside and the good is on the inside, and keep on trying to find a way of becoming what I would so like to be, and could be, if there weren't any other people living in the world.

Anne Frank

I must uphold my ideals, for perhaps the time will come when I shall be able to carry them out.

Anne Frank

Whoever is happy will make others happy, too.

Anne Frank

Everyone has inside of him a piece of good news. The good news is that you don't know how great you can be! How much you can love! What you can accomplish! And what your potential is!

Anne Frank

We all live with the objective of being happy, our lives are all different and yet the same.

Anne Frank

It's really a wonder that I haven't dropped all my ideals, because they seem so absurd and impossible to carry out. Yet I keep them, because in spite of everything I still believe that people are really good at heart.

Anne Frank

THOUGHT FOR YOUR WEEK

Positive Inspirational Note

By Catherine Pulsifer

The most positive inspirational note I ever received was from a good friend who has been a mentor, a supporter, and an inspiration to me. This friend has had some very challenging issues in their life, but they always look at the positive side of every situation. No matter what the issue they are able to find the good in it. After years of working with many set backs, they continued to persevere and they have achieved success.

The message that they sent me inspired and motivated me. What they did was write a poem to me to encourage me not to give up, to continue.. What was neat about this note is that they took quotes and put it in a letter to me. Here is the positive inspirational note:

Persistence prevails when all else fails. Author Unknown

Never, never, never give up. Winston Churchill

How long should you try? Until. Jim Rohn

A jug fills drop by drop. Buddha

Set your goals high, and don't stop till you get there. Bo Jackson

Choosing a goal and sticking to it changes everything. Scott Reed

Goals determine what you're going to be. Julius Erving

Whoever wants to reach a distant goal must take small steps. Helmut Schmidt

There are always flowers for those who want to see them." Henri Matisse

Look at the sunny side of everything. Christian D. Larsen

Pessimism leads to weakness, optimism to power. William James

Positive things happen to positive people. Sarah Beeny

Don't be afraid to go out on a limb. That's where the fruit is. H. Jackson Browne

Do not let what you cannot do interfere with what you can do. John Wooden

Men are born to succeed, not fail. Henry David Thoreau

Life is not the wick or the candle - it is the burning. Author Unknown

My hope in sharing this note with you is that it will inspire and motivate you to be all that you can be; that even when you face challenges to persevere; to encourage you to set your goals and stay focused on achieving them; and a reminder to realize that you are born to succeed. And, most importantly as you work to achieve your goals enjoy life!

Jim Rohn

"Life is too short to wake up in the morning with regrets. So love the people who treat you right, forget about the ones who don't and believe that everything happens for a reason. If you get a chance, take it. If it changes your life, let it. Nobody said that it'd be easy, they just promised it would be worth it."
Author Unknown

"Throughout life people will make you mad, disrespect you and treat you bad. Let God deal with the things they do, cause hate in your heart will consume you too."

Brian Tracy

"There are two primary choices in life: to accept conditions as they exist, or accept the responsibility for changing them."
Denis Waitley

POEM FOR YOUR WEEK

I Shall Be Glad

Poet: Grace Noll Crowell

If I can put new hope within the heart

Of one who has lost hope,

If I can help a brother up

Some difficult long slope

That seems too steep for tired feet to go,

If I can help him climb

Into the light upon the hill's far crest,

I shall begrudge no time

Or strength that I spend,

For well I know

How great may be his need.

If I can help through any

Darkened hour, I shall be glad indeed.

For I recall how often I have been

Distressed, distraught, dismayed,

And hands have reached to help,

And voices called

That kept me unafraid.

If I can share this help that

I have had, God knows I shall be glad.

POEM FOR YOUR WEEK

The Tides of Providence

by Patience Strong

It's not what you gather, but what you sow,

That gives the heart a warming glow.

It's not what you get, but what you give,

Decides the kind of life you live.

It's not what you have,

But what you spare.

It's not what you take,

But what you share

That pays the greater dividend

And makes you richer in the end.

It's not what you spend upon yourself

Or hide away upon a shelf,

That brings a blessing for the day.

It's what you scatter by the way.

A wasted effort it may seem.

But what you cast upon the stream

Comes back to you recompense

Upon the tides of providence.

STORY FOR YOUR WEEK

A Lesson in Life

By Author Unknown

One young academically excellent person went to apply for a managerial position in a big company. He passed the first interview; the director did the last interview, made the last decision.

The director discovered from the CV, that the youth's academic result was excellent. The director asked, "Did you obtain any scholarship in school?" and the youth answered "no". The director asked, " Is it your father who paid for your school fees?" the youth answered, "My father passed away when I was one year old, it is my mother who paid for my school fees." The director asked, "Where did your mother work?" the youth answered, "My mother worked as a cleaner." The director requested the youth to show him his hands. The youth showed a pair of hand that were smooth and perfect.

The director asked, "Did you ever help your mother wash the clothes?" The youth answered, "Never, my mother always wanted me to study and read more books, furthermore, my mother can wash clothes faster than me." The director said, "I have a request, when you go home today, look at your mother's hand, and then come and see me tomorrow morning." The youth felt that as the chance of landing the job is high, when he went back, he happily wanted to see his mother's hand. His mother felt strange, happy but mixed with fear, she showed her hands to the kid. The youth looked at his mother's hand slowly, his tears rolled down he cheeks. He never noticed that his mother's hands were so wrinkled, and that there are so many bruises in her hand.

This is the first time the youth realized and experienced that it was this pair of hand that washed clothes everyday to earn him the school fees, the bruises in the mother's hand is the price that the mother paid for his graduation and academic excellence and probably his future. After looking at him Mum's hands, the youth quietly cleaned all remaining clothes for his mother. That night, mother and son talked for a very long time.

Next morning, the youth went to the director's office. The director noticed the tear in the youth's eye, asked: "Can you tell what have you done and learned yesterday?" The youth answered, " I looked at my mother's hand, and also finished cleaning all the remaining clothes."' The director asked, "Please tell me your feelings."

The youth replied:

Number 1 - I now appreciate the fact that without my mother, I would not be successful today.

Number 2 -, I now know how to work together with my mother; I realize how difficult and tough it is to get something done.

Number 3 - I know the importance and value of family relationships.

The director said, "This is what I am asking, I want to recruit a person that can appreciate the help of others, a person that understands the challenges of others to get thing done, and a person that would not put money as his only goal in life to be a Manager. You are hired."

Later on, this young person worked very hard, and received the respect of his subordinates, every employees worked diligently and in a team, the company's result improved tremendously.

A child, who has been protected and habitually given whatever he wanted, develops an "entitlement mentality" and always put himself first. He is ignorant of others effort. When he starts work, he assumes every person must listen to him, and when he becomes a Manager, he never understands the challenges facing his employee and always blames others.

You can let your kid live in a big house, eat a good meal, learn piano, watch a big screen TV. But when you are cutting grass, please let them experience it. After a meal, let them wash the dishes together with their brothers and sisters. It is not because you do not have money to hire a maid, but it is because you want to love them in a right way and give them an appreciation that everything in life does not come easy.

The most important thing we all need to learn is how to appreciate the effort and experience the difficulty, and learn the ability to work with others to get things done.

Sleep Apnea Found to Cause Loss of Gray Matter & Cognitive Functioning

Posted: 26 Nov 2010 10:58 AM PST

Those who suffer from obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) have a new worry on their brains to deal with when drifting off. OSA has been found to cause gray matter to shrink, which can lead to cognitive problems with memory and attention. A side effect of OSA is the intermittent deprivation of oxygen that occurs during sleep, which appears to be the antecedent of the gray matter loss.
