Good Advice

[Anoushka]

The list of virtues from Chinese President Hu Jintao, released yesterday in poster form for the people of China.


Love, do not harm the motherland.

Serve, don't disserve the people.

Uphold science; don't be ignorant and unenlightened.

Work hard; don't be lazy and hate work.

Be united and help each other; don't gain benefits at the expense of others.

Be honest and trustworthy, not profit-mongering at the expense of your values.

Be disciplined and law-abiding instead of chaotic and lawless.

Know plain living and hard struggle, do not wallow in luxuries and pleasures.

I feared being alone
Until I learned to like
Myself.



I feared failure
Until I realized that I only
Fail when I don't try.



I feared success
Until I realized
That I had to try
In order to be happy
With myself.



I feared people's opinions
Until I learned that
People would have opinions
About me anyway.



I feared rejection
Until I learned to
Have faith in myself.



I feared pain
Until I learned that
it's necessary
For growth.



I feared the truth
Until I saw the
Ugliness in lies.



I feared life
Until I experienced
Its beauty .



I feared death
Until I realized that it's
Not an end, but a beginning.



I feared my destiny,
Until I realized that
I had the power to change
My life.



I feared hate
Until I saw that it
Was nothing more than
Ignorance.



I feared love
Until it touched my heart,
Making the darkness fade
Into endless sunny days.



I feared ridicule
Until I learned how
To laugh at myself.



I feared growing old
Until I realized that
I gained wisdom every day.



I feared the future
Until I realized that
Life just kept getting
Better.



I feared the past
Until I realized that
It could no longer hurt me.



I feared the dark
Until I saw the beauty
Of the starlight.



I feared the light
Until I learned that the
Truth would give me
Strength.


I feared change ,
Until I saw that
Even the most beautiful butterfly
Had to undergo a metamorphosis
Before it could fly.

[tscii]Smile well and often, it makes people wonder what you've been up to.


Vision without action is a daydream. Action without vision is a nightmare.


Progress always involves risk. You can't steal second with your foot on first.


Never let your memories be greater than your dreams.


Every success is built on the ability to do better than good enough.


What you do speaks so loudly that I cannot hear what you say.


Sometimes people don't hear you until you scream...


A ship in harbour is safe, but that is not what ships are built for.


The most difficult thing for people to say in 25 words or less is good-bye.


Never get so busy making a living that you forget to make a life.


Life's most persistent and urgent question is: What are you doing for others?


I use not only the brains I have, but all I can borrow.


Success is the ability to go from one failure to another with no loss of enthusiasm.


When you're through changing, you're through.


Don’t compromise yourself. You're all you've got.


The person who would like to make his dreams come true must stay awake.


A strong, positive attitude will create more miracles than any wonder drug.


There is only one way to get anybody to do anything… That is by making the other person want to do it.


Experience is the hardest kind of teacher. It gives you the test first and the lesson afterward.

HOW TO STAY YOUNG

1. Try everything twice.
On Madams tombstone (of Whelan's and Madam) she said she wanted this epitaph: Tried everything twice...loved it both times!

2. Keep only cheerful friends.
The grouches pull you down. (keep this in mind if you are one of those grouches

3. Keep learning: Learn more about the computer, crafts, gardening, whatever.
Never let the brain get idle. "An idle mind is the devil's workshop." And the devil's name is Alzheimer's!

4. Enjoy the simple things.

5. Laugh often, long and loud.
Laugh until you gasp for breath. And if you have a friend who makes you laugh, spend lots and lots of time with HIM/HER.

6. The tears happen: Endure, grieve, and move on.
The only person who is with us our entire life, is ourselves. LIVE while you are alive.

7. Surround yourself with what you love: Whether it's family, pets, keepsakes, music, plants, hobbies, whatever.
Your home is your refuge.

8. Cherish your health: If it is good, preserve it. If it is unstable, improve it. If it is beyond what you can improve, get help.

9. Don't take guilt trips.
Take a trip to the mall, even to the next county, to a foreign country, but NOT to where the guilt is.

10. Tell the people you love that you love them, at every opportunity.

11. Forgive now those who made you cry.
You might not get a second time.

And if you don't send this to other people - who cares? But do share this with someone .
If you're going through hell, keep going. J -- Winston Churchill

Attention: These are not Good Advices. They are my personal convictions. Exercise caution before you consider them to be advice.

I Fear the one that freely advises others but fails to keep his or her own advice.

I Follow the one who advises by example and rarely by way of explanation.

I Fear the one that frets with tedious detail in any advice that concerns others but simmers in self-justification when the same applies to himself.

I value a person who eagerly follows the least of his advices with the best of his ability.

I cherish these three: Fear God. Honor your father and your mother. Give more and keep less.

Worked for me all my life.
