Keep going!
Some quit due to slow progess, never grasping the fact that slow progress is still progress.

So what do you do today?
What you do today is important because you are exchanging a day of your life for it.
We do not live forever.
Every day could be your last.
Make it count!

Words for teenagers
Well not only for teenagers I guess:
Northland College principal John Tapene has offered the following words from a judge who regularly deals with youth.
Always we hear the cry from teenagers, ‘what can we do, where can we go?’
My answer is this: Go home, mow the lawn, wash the windows, learn to cook, build a raft, get a job, visit the sick, study your lessons and after you’ve finished, read a book. Your town does not owe you recreational facitlities and your parents do not owe you fun.
The world does not owe you a living, you owe the world something. You owe it your time, energy and talent so that no one will be at war in sickness and lonely again. In other words grow up, stop being a cry baby, get out of your dream world and develop a backbone not a wishbone. Start behaving like a responsible person. You are important and you are needed. It’s too late to sit around and wait for somebody to do something someday. Someday is now and that somebody is you!

About right and wrong
I no longer try to be right;
I choose to be happy.
Ric Elias
This right and wrong thing bothers me. Is there really an objective right and wrong?
Well maybe for real logic like math there is something like right and wrong. But there is not right and wrong for basically anything else because everything is subjective and everything will be different in different people’s perspectives.
Being right does not serve you well as long as it does not make you happy does it? Being in tune with your own thoughts, having a congruent reality, that is what counts. Everything else are opinions, everything else is worldy stuff that distracts you from your inner, calm happiness.
Being happy is not a question of being right, it is not a question of arguments or logic. It is a natural state, just like confidence, that you live in since your birth. Do not let rationalisation take this natural state from you.
You are not happy because you succeed in the society, you are happy because you are meant to be. You could loose your job, your wife, your car and your house today and still find inner peace and happiness.
Next time when you find yourself arguing with someone about anything, no matter how important or unimportant it may seem, stop and ask yourself: What am I doing here? Is this helping me or the other person in living happy lives?
Cut the useless worldly struggles of proving yourself and instead chose to be happy just for the sake of happiness.

Yes we can
Sooner or later, those who win are those who think they can.
Richard Bach
Mere ability is not enough, you have to believe in your success. Trust yourself and dig into work with the feeling of ‘I can do that’ rather than ‘This seems hard’.

Work is an important factor in the equasion
It’s funny how the harder I work the more successful I become.
Jack Warner
Well he should know a thing or two about success.
But this is a universal truth and not at all limited to succes in terms of society or finances. Be it success in your personal life, say a personal sports goal for example or be it something like a childhood dream you always wanted to fulfil:
The more work you put in, the sooner you’ll see results! At first it seems impossible, then improbable, and eventually inevitable. Go for it!

Get going
The first thing you’ll have to do, is the last thing you wished.
Edward Murphy
Sometimes you have to fight your own laziness.
You all experienced that feeling when you exactly know what you should be doing right now, but your body is all like ‘Nah man, just relax’.
Force yourself to get started! Just do it!
Chances are there is some thing like that right now. You should go shopping for groceries or make that one call. Maybe you should be studying or cleaning your appartment. Is there? Good, then I say greetings from Germany, get away from this blog and start doing whatever you really don’t want to but really have to do!
