GOALS GIVE US PURPOSE

Everyday, we meet people who are unhappy with their lives and the world around them. Did your know that 98 out of 100 people who are dissatisfied with their world do not have a clear picture in their minds of what world they would like! They have no goal of a better life. They have no purpose that drives them. As a result, they continue to live in a world they make no effort to change.

I once heard a medical doctor speak on a subject of retirement. He had done extensive research on common characteristics of those persons who lives to be over 100 years old. He asked the audiance to think about what factors the long-lived people might have in common.

Most audience members expected him to identify such things as diet, exercise, moderation in drinking and smoking, and other activities that might affect the body. However, the doctor surprised the audience by telling them that there were few, if any, commonalties in therms of diet or exercise habits.

The most common factor that he found among those over 100 years of age was their view towards the future: They all had goals.

We Cannot Direct The Wind......

"Nothing can stop the man with the right mental attitude from achieving his goal; nothing on earth can help the man with the wrong mental attitude." The bottom line is that when we are a positive thinker, we are able to produce results. We can put ourselves in position where we can act rather than react. We can set and work towards worthwhile goals that lead to success, rather than fighting our way out of negative situations every day.

Where success is concerned, people are not measured in inches, or ringgit, or college degrees, or family background : They are measured by the size oh their thinking. How big we think determines the size of our accomplishments. How big we think is determined by the way we think. The way we think is one of the few things in life that we can control. As someone once said, "We cannot direct the wind....but we can adjust the sails."

Having a positive attitude may not guarantee success. But when our attitude is positive, it puts us on the road that leads to success. Wheather or not we arrive there will be ditermined by what we do along the way.

Think Positive

If you want to get somewhere, you have to know where you want to go and how to get there. Then never, never, never give up.

The secret of life isn't what happens to you, but what you do with what happens to you.

Help other people to cope with their problems and your own will be easier to cope with.

Never use the word impossible seriously again. Toss it into the verbal wastebasket.

Self-trust is the first secret of success. So believe in and trust yourself.

Stand up to your obstacles and do something about them. You will find that they haven't half the strength you think they have.

Joy increases as you give it, and diminishes as you try to keep it for yourself. In giving it, you will accumulate a deposit of joy greater than you ever believed possible.

How you think about a problem is more important than the problem itself - so always think positively.

Go at life with abandon; give it all you've got. And life will give all it has to you.

Why patience a virtue?

Patience is a virtue because it makes us better people. The definition of the word is to tolerate delay. This implies self control and forebearance as opposed to wanting what we want when we want it. How many times have we jumped the gun and found out it it would have been better to tolerate delay or had self control? What did we miss out on? Did we hurt someone because of lack of patience? Did our lives just change completely just because we couldn't control ourselves? Patience is not only a virtue but a necessity for a happy existence.

p/s:..tiba2 teringat semula.."I've been holding my patience waiting for my new car...I didn't get enough sleep and can't concentrate to other things....hahaha...
