Failure builds character

Achievements make proud, failure makes strong.

This is very important. While being successful is nice, it can also create the illusion of being unbeatable.

That’s why it is important to get a good beating once in a while. Not only does it form character, it is also a very potent teacher. Make good use of your failures and learn to worship them for their qualities.

Sometimes their is no obvious lesson in failure, but at least it will train your endurance. Being able to endure pain is a great quality, there is basically no failure that you can not make any use of!

You can not wait for inspiration. You have to go after it with a club,

Inspiration does not suddenly appear, it has to be created. Action creates inspiration. Start getting active and you will be pleasantly suprised.

Make choices [picture]

I used to walk into a room full of people and wonder if they liked me…

Now I look around and wonder if I like them.

It is important to make your mind up about who you want to hang around with.

The people closest to you have the greates influence on your character, you should choose them wisely. It is not your job to please everybody, nor is it your job to please random people.

First thing: Please yourself by being yourself. Become comfortable with who you are or form your character untill you are comfortable and content with who you are and what you stand for. Then you can decide wether you like people or not on your own standards.

This is how you should determine who to hang out with and whose words to listen to. Don’t let others dictate your behaviour but make conscious choices and listen only to the word of people you respect and trust for good reasons.

He who tries to please everybody will never succeed and loose his integrity as well as his happiness along the way.

May your coming year be filled with magic and dreams and good madness. I hope you read some fine books and kiss someone who thinks you’re wonderful. And don’t forget to make some art (write, draw or build or sing or live as only you can) and somewhere in the next year, I hope you suprise yourself.

Work on your character

Be more concerned with your character than your reputation. Your character is what you really are, while your reputation is merely what others think you are.

New Year’s resolution

People are often unreasonable and self-centered. Forgive them anyway.

If you are kind, people may accuse you of ulterior motives. Be kind anyway.

If you are honest, people may cheat you. Be honest anyway.

If you find happiness, people may be jealous. Be happy anyway.

The good you do today may be forgotten tomorrow. Do good anyway.

Give the world the best you have, and it may never be enough. Give your best anyway.

Mother Theresa

And a happy new year to all of you!
