Compass life

At the end of your life, you will never regret not having passed one more test, not winning one more verdict, or not closing one more deal. You will regret time not spent with a husband, a friend, a child, or a parent. Barbara Bush Look at everything as though you were seeing it either for the first or last time. Then your time on earth will be filled with glory. Betty Smith Wise men talk because they have something to say; fools, because they have to say something. Plato When you see a man of worth, think of how you may emulate him. When you see one who is unworthy, examine yourself. Confucius There is a call within every one of us, a call to do something, however unpopular or unnoticed, to make the world a better place. Robert K. Cooper, The Other 90% Nothing is predestined: The obstacles of your past can become the gateways that lead to new beginnings. Ralph Blum To be able to give away riches is mandatory if you wish to possess them. This is the only way that you will be truly rich. Mahummad Ali Each morning when I open my eyes I say to myself: I, not events, have the power to make me happy or unhappy today. I can choose which it shall be. Yesterday is dead, tomorrow hasn't arrived yet. I have just one day, today, and I'm going to be happy in it. Groucho Marx People take different roads seeking fulfillment and happiness. Just because they're not on your road doesn't mean they've gotten lost. Dalai Lama I have far more respect for the person with a single idea who gets there than for the person with a thousand ideas who does nothing. Thomas Edison How far you go in life depends on your being tender with the young, compassionate with the aged, sympathetic with the striving, and tolerant of the weak and strong. Because someday in your life you will have been all of these. George Washington Carver Work and play are words used to describe the same thing underdiffering conditions. Mark Twain Each of us has that right, that possibility, to invent ourselves daily. If a person does not invent herself, she will be invented. So, to be bodacious enough to invent ourselves is wise. Maya Angelou The man is richest whose pleasures are cheapest. Henry David Thoreau

"It doesn't cost a cent to smile no matter how high inflation goes up." Byron Pulsifer

"It takes less muscles to smile so why is it that you see thousands of frowns

 from all those people heading to work?" Byron Pulsifer

"People seldom notice old clothes if you wear a big smile." Lee Mildon

"Before you put on a frown, make absolutely sure there are no smiles available." Jim Beggs

"Wrinkles should merely indicate where smiles have been." Mark Twain

"If you smile when no one else is around, you really mean it." Andy Rooney

"Everyone smiles in the same language." Author Unknown

"A smile is a curve that sets everything straight." Phyllis Diller

" Don't open a shop unless you know how to smile."

"A friend's frown is better than a fool's smile." Danish Proverb

"A smile costs nothing but gives much. It enriches those who receive without making poorer those who give. 

It takes but a moment, but the memory of it sometimes lasts forever. None is so rich or mighty 

that he cannot get along without it and none is so poor that he cannot be made rich by it. 

Yet a smile cannot be bought, begged, borrowed, or stolen, 

 for it is something that is of no value to anyone until it is given away.

 Some people are too tired to give you a smile

 Give them one of yours, as none needs a smile so much as he who has no more to give.

" Author Unknown

I'd rather have a sore face from smiling than one from crying. Byron Pulsifer

A smile is a powerful weapon; you can even break ice with it. Author Unknown

All the statistics in the world can't measure the warmth of a smile. Chris Hart

Smiles should not be reserved for only those people you are trying to impress, 

or to those who dress according to your standards. Byron Pulsifer

Smiling isn't owned by those in power, or those who have the most money, 

or those who desire something from you. A smile is something you own no matter who you are, 

or where you live. Byron Pulsifer

Wear a smile and have friends; wear a scowl and have wrinkles.George Eliot

I believe that smiling actually gives you more energy, and perhaps even better health.

 So lighten up and smile. Richard Carlson, Ph.D., Don't Worry, Make Money

 

To give up the things you love is to abandon your dreams and allow a part of yourself to die. Nurture these parts of you as you would a flower and it will blossom and bring joy and beauty into your life; joy and beauty you may never have otherwise known. By Michelle Ambler 2011 A dream is your creative vision for your life in the future. You must break out of your current comfort zone and become comfortable with the unfamiliar and the unknown. Denis Waitley If one advances confidently in the direction of his dream, and endeavors to live the life which he had imagines, he will meet with a success unexpected in common hours. Henry David Thoreau I, being poor, have only my dreams; I have spread my dreams under your feet.

Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. The critical ingredient is getting off your butt and doing something. It's as simple as that. A lot of people have ideas, but there are few who decide to do something about them now. Not tomorrow. Not next week. But today.
