PLUS a quote

"Make it a rule of life never to regret and never to look back with
sorrow. Regret is an appalling waste of energy; you can't build on
it; it's only for wallowing in." -- Katherine Mansfield

Words to live by ...

Accept that some days you're the pigeon, and some days you're the statue.

Always keep your words soft and sweet, just in case you have to eat them.

Always read stuff that will make you look good if you die in the middle of it.

Drive carefully. It's not only cars that can be recalled by their maker.

If you can't be kind, at least have the decency to be vague.

If you lend someone $20, and never see that person again, it was probably worth it.

It may be that your sole purpose in life is simply to serve as a warning to others.

Never buy a car you can't push.

Never put both feet in your mouth at the same time, because then you don't have a leg to stand on.

Nobody cares if you can't dance well. Just get up and dance.

The early worm gets eaten by the bird, so sleep late.

When everything's coming your way, you're in the wrong lane.

Birthdays are good for you; the more you have, the longer you live.

Ever notice that the people who are late are often much jollier than the people who have to wait for them?

If ignorance is bliss, why aren't more people happy?

You may be only one person in the world, but you may also be the world to one person.

Some mistakes are too much fun to only make once.

Don't cry because it's over; smile because it happened.

We could learn lot from crayons: some are sharp, some are pretty, some are dull, some have weird names, and all are different colors but they all have to learn to live in the same box.

A truly happy person is one who can enjoy the scenery on a detour.

Happiness comes through doors you didn't even know you left open.

Have an awesome day, and know that someone has thought about you today....

Suggestions

Christmas gift suggestions:

To your enemy, forgiveness.
To an opponent, tolerance.
To a friend, your heart.
To a customer, service.
To all, charity.
To every child, a good example.
To yourself, respect.

-Oren Arnold

A typical overcast day in NH. The smells of baking and the boys outside running the dog through the snow (great exercise - I should be out there). I especially like the last suggestion above.

Corporate Wisdom

Corporate Lesson Number 3

A little bird was flying south for the winter. It was so cold,

the bird froze and fell to the ground in a large field. While

it was lying there, a cow came by and dropped some dung

on it. As the frozen bird lay there in the pile of cow dung,

it began to realize how warm it was. The dung was actually

thawing him out! He lay there all warm and happy, and

soon began to sing for joy. A passing cat heard the bird

singing and came to investigate. Following the sound, the

cat discovered the bird under the pile of cow dung, and

promptly dug him out and ate him!

The morals of this story are:

1) Not everyone who drops s--- on you is your enemy.

2) Not everyone who gets you out of s--- is your friend.

3) And when you're in deep shit, keep your mouth shut.

Corporate Lesson Number 2

A turkey was chatting with a bull.

"I would love to be able to get to the top of that tree,"

sighed the turkey, "but I haven't got the energy."

"Well, why don't you nibble on some of my droppings?"

replied the bull. "They're packed with nutrients."

The turkey pecked at a lump of dung and found that it

actually gave him enough strength to reach the first branch

of the tree. The next day, after eating some more dung,

he reached the second branch. Finally, after a fortnight,

there he was proudly perched at the top of the tree.

Soon he was promptly spotted by a farmer, who shot

the turkey out of the tree.

Moral of the story is:

Bull---- might get you to the top, but it won't keep you there.

Corporate Lesson Number 1

A crow was sitting on a tree, doing nothing all day.

A small rabbit saw the crow, and asked him, "Can I also

sit like you and do nothing all day long?"

The crow answered: "Sure, why not?"

So, the rabbit sat on the ground below the crow, and rested.

All of a sudden, a fox appeared, jumped on the rabbit

and ate it.

Moral of the story is:

To be sitting and doing nothing, you must be

sitting very, very high up.

This is so true!

Life is not a journey to the grave

with the intention of arriving

safely in a pretty and well

preserved body, but rather to

skid in broadside, thoroughly

used up, totally worn out, and

loudly proclaiming

WOW What a Ride!

Ten Commandents of Leadership

Excerpts from a speech given by Eddie Snow, Oakland #3, at the District Assembly May 18th, "If You Were Arrested For Being A Rotarian, Would There Be Enough Evidence To Convict You?" These are St. Edward Wrestling Coach Howard Ferguson's "Paradoxical Commandments of Leadership."

I have since been informed that these are copyrighted to Dr. Kent Keith (4/30/06)

1. People are illogical, unreasonable and self-centered.
Love them anyway

2. If you do good, people will accuse you of selfish ulterior motives.
Do good anyway.

3. If you are successful, you win false friends and true enemies.
Succeed anyway.

4. The good you do today will be forgotten tomorrow.
Do good anyway.

5. Honesty and frankness make you vulnerable .
Be honest and frank anyway.

6. The biggest men with the biggest ideas can be shot down by the smallest man with the smallest mind.
Think big anyway.

7. People favor underdogs, but follow only top dogs.
Fight for a few underdogs anyway.

8. What you spend years building may be destroyed overnight.
Build anyway.

9. People really need help, but may attack you if you do help them.
Help them anyway.

10. Give the world the best you have and you'll get kicked in the teeth.
Give the world the best your have anyway.
