Finish each day and be done with it. You have done what you could.
Some blunders and absurdities no doubt crept in; Forget them as soon as you can.
Tomorrow is a new day; Begin it well and serenely, And with too high a spirit to be encumbered with your old nonsense.
~ Ralph Waldo Emerson ~

Professional Summary
"Far better it is to dare mighty things, to win glorious triumphs, even though checkered by failure, than to take rank with those poor spirits who neither enjoy much nor suffer much, because they live in the gray twilight mediocrity that knows nor victory nor defeat."
I promise myself :
• To be so strong that nothing can disturb my peace of mind.
• To talk health, happiness and prosperity to every person I meet.
• To make all my friends feel that there is something in them.
• To look at the sunny side of everything and make my optimism come true.
• To think only of the best, to work only for the best, and to expect only the best.
• To be just as enthusiastic about the success of others as I am about my own.
• To forget the mistakes of the past and press on to the greater achievements of the future.
• To wear a cheerful countenance at all times and give a smile to every living creature I meet.
• To give so much time to the improvement of myself that I will have no time to criticize others.
• To be too large for worry, too noble for anger, too strong for fear, and too happy to permit the presence of trouble. Let's leave the words away and start the action to prove who we are.

Having shot a deer, Ben and Arthur began dragging it by the tail to Arthur's trailer. On the way, they were stopped by a policeman. "Let me see your hunting licenses boys," he said.
When he saw that everything was in order he asked if he could give them some advice.
"Sure!" the hunters agreed."Well boys, I think that you would find it a lot easier to drag that deer by the horns and not the tail."
"Aye, O.K. and thanks," said the lads. After about five minutes Arthur said, "Ben, dragging by the horns is sure a lot easier, eh?"
"Yes, you're right," said Ben, "but have you noticed that we are getting further away from the trailer?***** "

WORDS TO LIVE BY: (1)
Try to make at least one person smile today.
Look at your work as something you "get to" do rather than something you "gotta" do.
There are three kinds of people: Those who make things happen, those who watch things happen, and those who say, "What happened?"
The difficulties of life are intended to make us better, not bitter.
It is never too soon to be kind, for we never know how soon it will be too late.
