Joke of the day – Punctuation

The women wrote: “Woman! Without her, man is nothing.”
Quote of the day – Lao Tzu

Watch your habits; they become character.
Watch your character; it becomes your destiny.”

Appreciate the little things
Happiness isn’t about having more, doing more or being more. It is about how we view what is already ours. When you begin to see and appreciate the richness around your, you will almost certainly find that you have a great deal more to be happy than you once imagined.
Quote of the day – Hermann Hesse
“Without words, without writing and without books there would be no history, there could be no concept of humanity.” – Hermann Hesse

“The world needs anger. The world often continues to allow evil because it isn’t angry enough.” – Bede Jarrett
Just say ‘no’…
…if someone wants something that you cannot give – time, energy, brain power, emotional or physical help in your home or office, then just say ‘No’.
This reminds me of the cartoon my daughters love to watch on TV – Dibo the Gift Dragon. There’s a character called Annie and she’s a kind and helpful girl who loves to bake. There’s also a pink rabbit called Bunny who is vain and selfish. In one episod, Bunny said to an obviously exhausted Annie, “You know Annie, I just can’t stand it anymore. Everyone is stepping all over you. What you need is a makeover. You must learn how to say ‘no’ like me” So, Bunny became Annie’s teacher and she was coaching Annie to say “No, No, No until Annie sounds just like her…mean and selfish.
So, wait until you feel ready to give freely and then you will be much more helpful without damaging yourself.
Remember, you don’t need to juggle every ball or take on every project. Relax, your need to enjoy life and focus on all the good. You’ll be far more productive with far less anguish!

Quote of the day – Mother Teresa
“Everybody today seems to be in such a terrible rush, anxious for greater developments and greater riches and so on, so that children have very little time for their parents. Parents have very little time for each other, and in the home begins the disruption of peace of the world.” – Mother Teresa
