This is the time to speak the word of appreciation.

The world needs all the help you can give by way of cheerful, optimistic, inspiring thought and personal example.

Those who have attained things worth having in this world have worked while others idled, have persevered while others gave up in despair, have practiced ...the valuable habits of self-denial, industry, and singleness of purpose.

The good thoughts you send out to others will return to you multiplied.

Learn to depend upon yourself by doing things in accordance with your own way of thinking.

People around you are quick to read your attitude of thought toward them. Inner thoughts and feelings are communicated in ways other than by the spoken word.

It is possible to make each year bring with it a lasting gift to add to the fullness of experience, to be treasured up, savored, and remembered. They need not be startling, these gifts of the years; they may be things that lie within the reach of all.
