Stand For What’s Right
The time is always right to do the right thing. You achieve according to what legacy perfume believe. More harm has been done by weak persons than by wicked persons. The problems of this world have been caused by the weakness of goodness rather than by the strength of evil. The true measure of a person is in his height of ideals, the breadth of his sympathy, the depth of his convictions, and the length of his patience. Eddie Rickenbacker encouraged us to “think positively and masterfully, with confidence and faith, and life becomes more secure, more fraught with action, richer in achievement and experience.” The right train of thought will take you to a better station in life.
To try and do what’s best and to remain essentially ourselves are really one and the same thing. Coach John Wooden said, “Success is peace of mind, which is a direct result of knowing you did your best to become the best you are capable of being.” One secret of success is being able to put your best foot forward without stepping on anybody’s toes.
If you seek greatness, then forget greatness and ask for God’s will. You will find both. Elevate your personal sweater of quality. Whatever you thought was good enough for now, add 10 percent more. Better is better.
The biggest mistake you can make in life is not to be true to the best you know. George Barnard Shaw remarked, “Keep yourself bright; you are the window through which you must see the world.”
