Do all the good you can; In all the ways you can.
In all the places you can; At all the times you can;
To all the people you can; As long as ever you can.

Our business in life is not to get ahead of others but to get ahead of ourselves - to break our own records, to outstrip our yesterdays by our todays, to do our work with more force than ever before.-Stewart B. Johnson

A HEROES CREED "DID I"
By Carl Morris

Did I help someone to realize a dream they thought they'd lost?
Did I listen when someone told me the reward is worth the cost?
Did I praise someone for their efforts and encourage someone toward their dreams?
Did I help someone to understand the end never justifies the means?
Did I make someone laugh and smile when they would much, rather frown?
Was I the one who picked them up when everyone put them down?
Am I, the one they confide in and know their conversations secure?
Did I provide them with someone to trust in knowing their friendship will always endure?
Am I humble and constantly striving to become more than I was yesterday?
Did I focus on the successes of others and follow through with all that I say?
If I constantly strive to become the one who can say I did to did I's.
Then my life is fulfilled, knowing I have achieved life's greatest prize.
 
Here are a few German proverbs I like to share with you:
'Hunger is the best cook'
'The old forget, the young dont know'
The higher the monkey climbs, the more you get to see its behind.
A fence lasts three years, a dog lasts three fences, a horse lasts three dogs, and a man lasts three horses.

“Many a young person tells me he wants to be a writer. I always encourage such people, but I also explain that there’s a big difference between 'being a writer' and writing. In most cases these individuals are dreaming of wealth and fame, not the long hours alone at the typewriter. 'You’ve got to want to write,' I say to them, 'not want to be a writer.' The reality is that writing is a lonely, private and poor-paying affair. For every writer kissed by fortune, there are thousands more whose longing is never requited. Even those who succeed often know long periods of neglect and poverty. I did.” - Alex Haley
 
The greatest results in life are usually attained by simple means and the exercise of ordinary qualities. These may for the most part be summed in these two: common sense and perseverance.- Owen Feltham
 
The art of being yourself at your best is the art of unfolding your personality into the person you want to be. . . . Be gentle with yourself, learn to love yourself, to forgive yourself, for only as we have the right attitude toward ourselves can we have the right attitude toward others.~Funmi Wale-Adegbite
 
Some quotes from Chanakya:
A person should not be too honest. Straight trees are cut first and honest people are victimized first.
Even if a snake is not poisonous, it should pretend to be venomous.
The biggest guru-mantra is: Never share your secrets with anybody. It will destroy you.
As soon as fear approaches near, attack and destroy it
A man is great by deeds not by birth.
 
Don't get frustrated when things don't work. Try a new approach instead. Think
differently to see different results rather than desired results.

Comparison with others sometimes may not produce the desired result and
it become bitter at times, rather it is advisable to watch a common man's
suffering and satisfy oneself with whatever God has given.
