"Failure" is Success!

Wednesday, November 09, 2011

To swear off mistakes is very easy. All you have to do is swear off having ideas.
- Leo Burnett, advertising pioneer

Stumble seven times, get up eight
- Chinese Proverb

What is called failure is successfully identifying something that does not work.
Paraphrased from Thomas Edison

  


Actions Speak!

Tuesday, November 08, 2011

I have always thought the actions of men the best interpreters of their thoughts.
- John Locke, philosopher

What you do makes so much noise that I cannot hear what you say.
-Unknown

Let Your Light Shine!

Sunday, November 06, 2011

"Sometimes our light goes out but is blown again into flame by an encounter with another human being. Each of us owes the deepest thanks to those who have rekindled this inner light."
-Albert Schweitzer

You can illuminate a room by being a candle which produces the light or a mirror which reflects it!

Let the sun shine in! Face it with a grin! Smiling never loses and frowning never wins!

This little light of mine, I'm gonna let it shine!

    One of my favorites! Along with This little light of mine!

Mommy told me something - a little girl should know,
It's all about the devil and I've learned to hate him so.
She said he causes trouble when you let him in the room,
He will never ever leave you if your heart is filled with gloom.

Chorus:
So let the SONshine in, Face it with a grin.
Smilers never lose, And frowners never win,
So let the SONshine in, Face it with a grin,
Open up your heart and let the SONshine in.


If I forget to say my pray'rs the devil jumps with glee,
But he feels so awful, awful when he sees me on my knees.
So if you're full of trouble and you never seem to win,
Just open up your heart and let the SONshine in.
