As a fond mother, when the day is o'er,  Leads by the hand her little child to bed,  Half willing, half reluctant to be led,  And leave his broken playthings on the floor,  Still gazing at them through the open door,  Nor wholly reassured and comforted  By promises of others in their stead,  Which though more splendid, may not please him more;  So Nature deals with us, and takes away  Our playthings one by one, and by the hand  Leads us to rest so gently, that we go  Scarce knowing if we wish to go or stay,  Being too full of sleep to understand  How far the unknown transcends the what we know. by Henry Wadsworth Longfellow

Honesty is beautiful  Kindness is beautiful  Intelligence is beautiful  Talent is beautiful  Beautiful is a romance with such abundance  Beautiful are the flowers that roam the earth  Beautiful is awaking to the sound of singing birds  Beautiful is a disguise  Playing hide and seek inside and outside  Beautiful is as naked as the rising sun  Beautiful is delightful and truthful  Beautiful is the golden daylight that shines  And the taste of sweet colored red wine  Beautiful was never ever created by mistake  Beautiful is the ingredient we bake life's cake  When all or nothing is at stake  I am beautiful  You are beautiful  We are beautiful  Beautiful is great  Beautiful is sweet  Beautiful is love  Beautiful is power  Come to me Mr. & Mrs. Beautiful  Let me into your little secret  Of why you are so obedient and dutiful      By Sylvia Chidi...

Goals give you a sense of meaning and purpose. Goals gives you a sense of direction as well. As you move toward your goals you feel happier and stonger, more energized and effective. You feel more competent and confident in yourself and your abilities. Every step you take towards your goals increases your believe that you can set and achieve even bigger goals in the future. ****************************************** The starting point of all goal attainment is DESIRE. You must develop an intense burning desire for your goals if you really want to achieve them. Only when your desire becomes intense enough will you have the energy and the internal drive to overcome all the obstacles that will arise In your path. Success requires two things and two things only. 1)Know exactly what you want. 2)Determine the price that you will have to pay to achieve it and then get busy paying the price.                    THANKS.

Goals unlock your positive mind and release ideas and energy for goal attainment. Your goals simply drift and makes you flow on the current of life. With goals, you fly like an arrow  straight and true to your target. Clear goals increase your confidence, develop your competence and boost your levels of motivation. "Goals are the fuel in the furnace of achievement". Living out clear goals is like driving in a thick fog. No matter how powerful or well engineered your car, you drive slowly, incessantly, making little progress on even the smoothest road. Deciding upon your goals clears the fog immediately and allows you to focus and channel your energies and abilities. Clear goals enables you to step on the accelerator of your own life and race ahead rapidly towards achievement, more of what you really want. Like a computer, your goal seeking mechanism is non judgemental. It works automatically and continuously to bring you what you want, regardless of what you program in...

Perhaps the greatest discovery in human history is the power of your mind to create almost every aspect of tour life. The greatest summary statement of all religious, all philosophies, metaphysics, psychology and success is this:  "YOU BECOME WHAT YOU THINK ABOUT MOST OF THE TIME". Your outer world ultimately becomes a reflection of your inner world and mirrors back to what you think about. Whatever you think about perpetually emerges in your reality.

There are important ideas and strategies ever discovered for achieving everything that you could ever want in life. You'll find that there are no limits to what you can accomplish except for the limits you place on your own imagination. And since there are no limits to what you can imagine, there are no limits to what you can achieve. This is one of the greatest discoveries of all. I have discovered that your time and your life are precious. The biggest waste of time and life is for you to spend years accomplishing things you could have achieved in only a few months. I have  discovered that the potential of an average person is like a huge ocean unsailed, a new Continent unexplored, a world of possibility waiting to be released and channeled towards some great good (Brian Tracy ) I have found over and over that a person of average intelligence with clear goals will run circles around genius who is not sure of what he or she really wants.

Have you ever wondered whom a fool is? Have you ever examined if you are one? Here are some qualities to examine if you are actually a fool! A short tempered man is a fool Only a fool despises his fathers advice. A fool knows about the future and tells everyone in details. A fool can be identified by the way he walks down the street. A fool is quick-tempered A fool thinks he needs no advice. A fool makes a promise to the lord before counting the cost. In the mouth of a fool a proverb becomes as useless as a paralysed leg. A fool argues with a rebel using fool words A dog returns to his vomit, so a fool repeats in folly A fool is being proud about plotting evil instead of covering his mouth in shame. A wise man does not display his knowledge but fool display his foolishness. A man who commits adultery is an utter fool. A fool is been flattered by vain words A fool refuses to be taught or corrected. Have you ever been a fool? Remember it is safer to meet a bear rob...

A retired teacher of English once wrote: English is a tricky language There is no egg in eggplant nor ham in hamburger; neither apple nor pine in pineapple. English muffins weren’t invented in England or French fries in France.  Sweet meats are candies while sweetbreads are actually meat and non sweet.  We take English for granted. But if we explore its paradoxes, we find that quicksand can work slowly, boxing rings are square and a guinea pig is neither from Guinea nor is it a pig. And why is it that writers write but fingers don’t fing, grocers don’t groce and hammers don’t ham? If the plural of tooth is teeth, why isn’t the plural of booth beeth? One goose, 2 geese. So one moose, 2 meese? One index, 2 indices? Doesn’t it seem crazy that you can make amends but not one amend? If teachers taught, why don't preachers praught?.  If a vegetarian eats vegetables, what does a humanitarian eat?  Sometimes I think all the English speakers should be committed to ...
