Say no to failure ailure does't mean you are a failure... It does mean you haven't succeeded yet. Failure doesn't mean you have accomplished nothing... It does mean you have learned something. Failure doesn't mean you have been a fool... It does mean you had a lot of faith. Failure doesn't mean you've been disgraced... It does mean you were willing to try. Failure doesn't mean you don't have it... It does mean you have to do something in a different way. Failure doesn't mean you are inferior... It does mean you are not perfect. Failure doesn't mean you've wasted your life...It does mean you have a reason to start afresh. Failure doesn't mean you should give up... It does mean you must try harder. Failure doesn't mean you'll never make it... It does mean it will take a little longer. Failure doesn't mean God has abandoned you...It does mean God has a better idea ! Failure doesn't mean you're finished... It does mean you have a chance to try something new. So it's true ! Failure is never final ! - Dr. Robert Schuller

Tension : positive and negative There is a common belief that tension is bad, that quiet and tranquillity are the goals for which we should strive. Not really. Without tension nothing gets done. Quite and contentment are desirable (infact, a daily period of meditation is an excellent use of time), but there must be alternating periods of positive te ion or you can slip into lethargy. What keeps a watch going is the tension on the mainspring. Positive tension can take many forms : a deadline that must be met, an awareness that your work is going to be judged, a sense of competition with others. These pressures bring out the best in people, challenging them to use time as effectively as possible. Good management involves building a reasonable amout of positive tension into your relationships with subordinates, and good self-mangement involves finding ways to put some pressure on yourself to perform. Making a public commitment to undertake a job on which you have been procrastinating, for example, is one way of putting pressure on yourself. Negative tension is bad, of course. This produces harmful stress. Tension headaches and other ailments associated with stress are often a result of frustration growing out of poor time-management practices : failure to set priorities, failure to plan ahead, failure to concentrate on a single item at a time, failure to delegate properly, indecision, failure to schedule periods of quiet time when you can tackle top-priority jobs without interruption. Such negative tension must be avoided at all costs. - Edwin C. Bliss

The miracle you can do VV hile the highest ability accomplishes but little if scattered on a multiplicity of objects, on the other hand, if one has but a thimbleful of brains, and concentrates them upon the thing he has in hand, he may achieve miracles. Momentum in physics, if properly directed, will drive a tallow candle through an inch board. Just so will oneness of aim and the direction of the energies to a single pursuit, while all others are waived, enable the veriest weakling to make his mark where he strikes. The general who scatters his soldiers all about the country ensures defeat; so does he whose attention is diffused through innumerable channels, so that it cannot gather in force on any one point. The human mind, in short, resembles a burning glass, whose rays are intense only as they are concentrated. As the glass burns only when its rays are converged to a focal point, so the mind illumines the world of science, literature or business only when it is directed to a solitary object. Not perfection as a final goal, but the ever-enduring process of perfecting, maturing, refining, is the aim in living, The good man is the man who, no matter how morally unworthy he has been, is moving to become better. Such a conception makes one severe in judging himself and humane in judging others. - James Bryant Conant

From fear to anger Inger has many forms and many causes, but it has its root in fear. One is angry because one fears bodily harm or injury to material interest or deprivation of some enjoyed blessing, or injury to reputation or friendship through something that some one has said or done. Self-control is of course the preventive of anger. Logic and deliberation in judging of incidents and their effect on one are conducive to self-control. A common excitant to anger is an epithet, the calling of a name. Think just what this is, and you must decide that it is silly to lose one's temper over it. You are angry really because you are afraid somebody may believe the characterization is true. Were you absolutely sure of yourself and your reputation, the epithet would have no more effect than the barking of a dog, or a word in some foreign language that you did not understand. It has no real effect at all, except what you allow to have in your own mind. It does not alter the facts in the case, in the least. Whatever the cause of anger, it will usually be found to be trivial. A proof is that quick tempered people are always apologizing the next day, when the matter looks very different. Cultivate the habit of forming this "to-morrow" judgement today, and your angry explosions will be reduced to a minimum. Cultivate optimism in general, and particularly the love-thought, toward all people with whom you come in contact, and you will soon find it hard to be angry with any of them. - Orison Swett Marden

Step out of the crowd ! ourage is not the absence of fear, it is the conquest of it. Courage is the mark of the man. Courage is the product of real manhood and womanhood. We are either leaders or we are followers. We either think for ourselves, or we let others do our thinking for us. Most of us value public approval so much that we fail to execute and display the courage of our convictions. Instead of being mere followers, we should constantly strive towards being the leader. The fear of what others might think should always be abandoned in favour of what you know to be is the right. You, not your neighbour, are the master of your own fate. Lincoln is remembered principally because of his courage. This was, above all else, his shining star. It is the man of conviction, the courageous soul, that believes and succeeds. The world is crying out for men and women to display their real manhood and womanhood, to bring out the best that is in them, to step out of the crowd, to quit living the sheepish sort of lives that they are, to become believers in themselves instead of fearers of their possibilities, to become leaders and to make their mark upon the world. Believe in courage. No generation has ever stood in greater need of it than ours. Dickens once said : 'Life is given to us on the understanding that we defend it to the last.' It is not our lives alone we must defend today, but every value that to us makes life worth living. -0. G. Mandino

Exercise self-control It birth each of us has been given, by a wise Creator, the right of choice--the freedom to become what we want to become. This gift sets us high above the animal kingdom with their gift of instinct. In a true sense, we have been commissioned at birth as the captains of our own ship and the masters of our own soul. Most people forfeit their commissions--their priceless birthright. The vast majority of people remain ignorant of their power because nowhere are they taught how to use them. Instead of being the driver of our lives we hand the reins or steering wheel over to our impulses, passions and moods. From that moment on we surrender this high prerogative that has been ours since birth. To be morally free--to be more than an animal-man must be able to resist instinctive impulses. This can only be done by the exercise of self-control. Thus it is this power that constitutes the real distinction between a physical and a moral life, and that forms the primary basis of individual character. Nine-tenths of the vicious desires that degrade society, and the crimes that disgrace it, would shrink into insignificance before the advance of valiant self-discipline and self-respect. Moderation in all things, and regulating the actions only by the judgement, are the most eminent parts of wisdom. "He that ruleth his own spirit is greater than he that taketh a city." To be free one must have command over himself. -- Ralph Waldo Emerson

Beauty of the inner-self B eauty is sublime, in its physical form, found everywhere round about man. The world, as God has made it, is beautiful and delightful, in spite of the several woes that may be in life. There is, with the golden morn, the beauty of the day and the colours oft in the sky as the sun peeps out showing fiery beauty; and, in winter, we have the beautiful mist over the trees, the valleys, the mountains, the hills, the ocean and over the monuments that look most beautiful amidst the beauty that is in the mist. As one gets up in the early morning, one sees the birds rising in their nests, in prayer to God, by their melodious chirping, and what a supreme pleasure it is to hear the sweet melody of the chirping birds! How beautiful to wander in the woods, on holidays, or to have the blessings of solitude amidst magnificent mountains and gorgeous valleys! How wonderful is the sublime beauty of Nature in the world of God for the benefit of his creatures! How magnificent also the man-made monuments, like the Taj Mahal of Agra, a dream in marble, looking most glamorous under the beautiful light of the full Moon. How beautiful even a small hut by the side of a valley, amidst the rustic charm all around! How beautiful is life, and the beauty that is all around, if man could only visualise and appreciate it seeing in it the greatness of the Creator! But the greatest beauty is that which proceeds from one's inner self, the self that is full of truth, love, kindness and benevolence-the beauty that emanates from the good soul. 43 Earl Stowell

Eight golden rules for prayer 1. Set aside a few minutes everyday. Do not say anything. Simply practise thinking about God. This will make your mind spiritually receptive. 2. Then pray orally, using simple, natural words. Tell God anything that is on your mind. Talk to God in your own language. He understands it. 3. Pray as you go about the business of the day, on the subway or bus or at your desk. 4. Do not always ask when you pray, but instead affirm that God's blessings are being given, and spend most of your prayers giving thanks. 5. Pray with belief that sincere prayers can reach out and surround your loved ones with God's love and protection. 6. Never use a negative thought in prayer. Only positive thoughts get results. 7. Always express willingness to accept God's will. Ask for what you want, but be willing to take what God gives you. It may be better than what you ask for. 8. Practise the attitude of putting everything in God's hands. Ask for the ability to do your best and to leave the results confidently to God. - Bill Nelson

Health is life insurance It seems pathetic that a human being, created in the form of a perfect mechanism, should be so inconsiderate, so negligent with the care of his marvellous body. The way most people abuse the human machine, one would think that they are trying to leave this life as soon as possible. We have only one body in which to live out our early days. It is so precious to us that we should treat it reverently, as the temple of our being, which it is. Instead, most people do everything they can to poison it, to tear it down, to cripple and get rid of it. We fill our lungs with smoke and our stomachs with rich foods and harmful drink. We torture the nervous system with pills to keep us awake and pills to put us to sleep. We ignore Nature's warning signals (headache and bodily pains) by eliminating the discomforts, instead of treating the cause of our disorders. Nothing will aid us so well in attaining the larger successes in life, as will keeping ourselves in a superb physical condition. Nothing in life can mean more to us than our health, keeping in top physical condition for the largest possible expression of our ability. One of the greatest investments which we can make is to invest in health, for there is no other investment like it. It increases our efficiency, our effectiveness in life, our creative and productive ability. Health is life insurance, success and happiness insurance. - Dandemis

The physical side of healthy living n the physical side of healthy living, healthy diet (eating for the sake of living healthily and sanely, and not living for the sake of eating lavishly and savagely), fresh air, sufficient exercise, good sleep, relaxation after devoted work, suitability of and love for work, and employment of the right type, good environment and overall moderation are of the utmost importance. The body is designed to produce all needed energy over an amazingly long period of time. If the individual takes reasonable care of his body from the standpoint of proper diet, exercise, sleep, no physical abuse, the body will produce and maintain astonishing energy and sustain itself in good health. If he gives similar attention to a well balanced emotional life, energy will be conserved. But if he allows energy leaks caused by hereditary or self-imposed emotional reactions of a debilitating nature, he will be lacking in vital force. The natural state of the individual when body, mind, and spirit work harmoniously is that of a continuous replacement of necessary energy. The maintenance of physcial health means paying attention to food and exercise. We must eat the right food in the proper quantities, and exercise the body so that it is kept fit. What we should understand about these matters is that the important thing is not what we do occasionally, but what we do habitually every day. - Ed Sainsbury

Closed for repairs Periods of rest and sleep are absolutely essential for the maintenance of sound physical health. About one-third of our natural lives are spent in bed, yet it is surprising to learn that most people have not learned the art of restful sleeping. Sleep is a necessity. It is a time when you should be completely "closed for repairs", for that is the purpose of sleep. It is the time when you submit yourself completely to Nature, when you lay the body down in her garage, so that she can go to work on it and repair the damage inflicted upon it during the day. It is a time when every organ of your body is recharged with life and made ready for your next day's work. It is important that we co-operate with Nature in her recreating process. Our mental attitude has everything in the world to do with this. When we hang up our clothes at night, with them we should hang up every single business thought, trouble, anxiety, problem. The bed is no place to bring your business or your problems. As an aid to relaxation, many people bathe before going to bed. Whether you bathe the body before retiring or not, be sure to take a mental bath. Wash out of the mind all unpleasant, disagreeable, unhappy thoughts. If you want to keep young, keep the mind fresh, pure and clean with cheerful thoughts just before dropping off to sleep. The reading of inspirational works, motivational books, self-improvement courses, also contribute to the rest and refreshment of your mind. This sort of mental refreshment will make you feel renewed, more interested in life. - Jack Mayer X47XXFEE

Happy with a hobby here is no question about it, that hobbies can be sparetime well spent, for they bring us happiness, friendship, knowledge and good health through relaxation. Hobbies provide a good balance between work and play for those who are intensely bent upon success and are constantly directing all their efforts toward their goal. There are four general classes of hobbies : (1) Doing things, (2) Collecting things, (3) Making things, and (4) Studying or learning about things. By referring to your encyclopedia, you will discover the great number of hobbies which can be found in each of these classes. Public libraries are usually well stocked with books about hobbies. Hobbies have marked the beginning of fame and fortune for many who never dreamed that their spare time activities would develop into worldwide renown for them in the fields of sports, invention, science, art, music, and industry. Patience is a great teacher and oftentimes is best developed through a hobby. Hobbies relax the mind and in so doing provide us with incalculable health stimulating benefits. Hobbies are fun, have one ! No man is really happy or safe without a hobby, and it makes precious little difference what the outside interest may be--botany, beetles, or butterflies; roses, tulips, or irises, mountaineering, or antiques -- anything will do so long as he saddles a hobby and rides it hard. - Sir William Osler

The success mechanism Don't measure your success by counting prestige symbols and imitating other people, but by living the aspects of the success mechanism : S: Sense of direction. You must have a goal, a goal within your capabilities. U: Understanding. You must understand your needs and the needs of others. You must remember the words of Anatole France, "It is better to understand a little than to misunderstand a lot." C: Courage. You must have courage to take your chances in life, to get your feet wet. If you make a mistake, try again. Try, Try, Try! Think of the words of Alfieri, "Often the test of courage is not to die but to live." C: Compassion. You must have compassion for yourself well as for others. Schopenhauer said, "Compassion is the basis of all morality." as E: Esteem. If you have no respect for yourself, no one will give it to you. S: Self-acceptance. You must accept yourself for what you are. Never try to be someone else. "Better keep your Self-image clean and bright. It is the window through which you see the world. S: Self-confidence. You must remember the confidence of past success in your present undertaking. 49 - Dr. Maxwell Maltz

Happiness is in the journey lappiness, as viewed by most people, is a sought destination. It is something to be. It is something to become. To this unfortunate lot, happiness is the end of the rainbow, the pot of gold. They spend out a lifetime chasing rainbows. They might as well chase the shadows for they shall never find in the external that which only resides within. Happiness is in the journey, not in the destination. Happy is he who has found self. Happy is he who knows God. Happy is he who has lofty and noble aspirations. Happy is he who is rising in the world, climbing higher and higher. Happy is he who is enriching the lives of all those about him. Happy is he who is contributing something to make this world a better place in which to live. Happy is he whose work, whose chores, whose daily tasks, are labours of love. Happy is he who loves love. Happy is he who loves life. Happy is he who is happy. Happiness is every day. Happiness is now. Happiness is in the journey. Happiness is a state of mind. It can never be found in the material things about us, in such things as wealth, position or power. Disillusioned and disappointed are they who spend a lifetime harvesting and accumulating more wealth than they need, only to discover, too late, that all the money in the world won't buy a grain of happiness. Happiness is an expression of appreciation for the things which we have now. Happiness is today. Happiness is now. Each new dawn signals the birth of a glorious new day wherein we can both give and find love, contentment, cheerfulness and unselfish service. - Abraham Lincoln

Combine the spiritual and the scientific ! By combining the spiritual and the scientific, we can add tremendous power to our thinking and speed up the spiritual evolution of man, on which, solving the problems of the world depends. Let us review the scientific formula and see how we can add the creative plus factor to each of the four steps: 1. Saturation, preparation, stimulation. In your search for data use the power of prayer. Ask to be directed to the people, the books, the facts that you need. 2. Incubation. Once you have accumulated data and consciously worked on the problem, release your problem to God with a prayer that the answer will come in its own good time and place. Hold the attitude of faith and expectancy, knowing that God has all the answers, that His knowledge is limitless and can never be exhausted. 3. Illumination. Keep your mind open. Have a quiet time each day in which you relax with an open mind waiting for the ideas to come. When the inspiration comes, write your idea down in a notebook. Thank God for it and ask him to bless it and help you to put it to work to serve men. 4. Verification. Pray that you may judge ideas from the standpoints of truth and justice. Realize that only ideas in harmony with God's infinite laws of life are from Him. Evaluating ideas with the Golden Rule Standard will eliminate those that are unworthy of your highest purpose. Wilfred A. Peterson XXXXX 51 XXXXE*
