feel calm and at peace.

Individuality and Uniqueness

repeated. Thus, everyones task is as unique as is his
specific opportunity to implement it.

You are special and unique; accept and embrace your

uniqueness.

Joy and Happiness

he secret of happiness is simple: find out what you

towards doing it.

feel most alive and go and do it.

oo often we underestimate the power of a touch, a

have the potential to turn a life around.

Leo Buscaglia

Put kindness into action and you might just start a chain
reaction!

Learning

o one lives long enough to learn everything they

need to learn starting from scratch. To be successful,

we absolutely, positively have to find people who have

View everyone around you as a teacher; from some, seek

to learn what not to do and from others, what to do.

obstacles that we face and overcome only make us
stronger.

Positive Attitude

ositive thinking wont let you do anything, but it will

let you do everything... better than negative thinking

will.

Zig Ziglar

The positive thinker seeks to answer the question "how

can I do it?", rather than simply saying "it can't be done."

Questioning

here is something about a well-worded question that

often penetrates to the heart of the matter and triggers

new ideas and insights.

Brian Tracy

Asking better questions will get you better answers which

help you succeed.

Relationships

he best way to make your spouse and children feel

secure is not with big deposits in bank accounts, but

with little deposits of thoughtfulness and affection in
the love account.

Zig Ziglar

uccess is not to be pursued; it is to be attracted by the

person you become.

all have twenty-four hour days.

sufficient time for them in your schedule.

hree-fourths of the miseries and misunderstandings

in the world will disappear if we step into the shoes of

our adversaries and understand their standpoint.

Mahatma Gandhi

To truly understand a person, stop talking and start

listening.

Vision

ll successful people, men and women, are big

dreamers. They imagine what their future could be,

ideal in every respect, and then they work every day
toward their distant vision, that goal or purpose.

Brian Tracy

Form a clear mental vision of your ideal life before you

start taking action to achieve it.

Wealth and Money

hen we do more than we are paid to do, eventually

we will be paid more for what we do.

serve others with it, the money will follow.

Xpectation

positive expectations in advance of the event.

work needed to meet those expectations.

f you really want something badly enough, there are

no limits on what you can achieve.

When you really want something deeply and take massive

action, you can achieve wonders.
