THE Speech - Humility, Gratitude & Sacrifice

"I stand here today humbled by the task before us, grateful for the trust you have bestowed, mindful of the sacrifices borne by our ancestors...................Our challenges may be new. The instruments with which we meet them may be new. But those values upon which our success depends — hard work and honesty, courage and fair play, tolerance and curiosity, loyalty and patriotism — these things are old. These things are true.................Let it be said by our children's children that when we were tested, we refused to let this journey end, that we did not turn back, nor did we falter; and with eyes fixed on the horizon and God's grace upon us, we carried forth that great gift of freedom and delivered it safely to future generations."

When GRATITUDE becomes a way of LIFE, success, happiness & health becomes the norm. Focus on the abundance in your life rather than the lack.

Just Thots

Never explain yourself to anyone.
Because the person who likes you doesn't need it,
and the person who dislikes you won't believe it.

When we wake up in the morning, we have 2 simple choices.
Go back to sleep and dream, or wake up and chase those dreams.
Choice is yours.

Don't make promise when you are in joy.
Don't reply when you are sad.
Don't take decision when you are angry.
Think twice, act wise.

Time is like a river.
You cannot touch the same river twice,
because the flow that has passed will never pass again.
Enjoy every moment of life.

When you keep saying you are busy,
then you are never free.
When you keep saying you have no time,
then you will never have time.
When you keep saying that you will do it tomorrow,
then your tomorrow will never come.
