Ageless Wisedom

1. You cannot bring about prosperity by discouraging thrift.
2. You cannot strengthen the weak by weakening the strong.
3. You cannot help little men by tearing down big men.
4. You cannot lift the wage earner by pulling down the wage payer.
5. You cannot help the poor by destroying the rich.
6. You cannot establish sound security on borrowed money.
7. You cannot further the brotherhood of man by inciting class hatred.
8. You cannot keep out of trouble by spending more than you earn.
9. You cannot build character and courage by destroying men’s initiative and independence.
10. And you cannot help men permanently by doing for them what they can and should do for themselves.


by William John Henry Boetcker, 1873

Don’t be too hard on yourself. But don’t be too easy on yourself either. Push yourself steadily and persistently toward meaningful success and achievement. But don’t beat yourself up when you happen to fall short. Remember that most things are rarely as good as they seem or as bad as they seem. Take the ups and the downs in stride, without letting them throw you off track. Act with confidence, but not with arrogance. Live with humility. --Ralph Marston

The Universe is like a grocery store, your thoughts and beliefs are the products for sale, the thoughts that you allow yourself to accept are the items you buy, and what you bought, you MUST USE to prepare your meal, and then eat; so, make your thoughts positive and sweet, after all, since you are the chef, why cook using bad ingredients?
Enjoy your meal while you have a seat at the table!
