Laugh at yourself and at life. Not in the spirit of derision or whining self-pity, but as a remedy, a miracle drug, that will ease your pain, cure your depression, and help you to put in perspective that seemingly terrible defeat... Never take yourself too seriously.

Don't let your success of today lay you into complacency for tomorrow. For that is the worst form of failure.

And so long as I can laugh, never will I be poor. This then, is one of nature's greatest gifts and I will waste it no more.

You do not live in a vacuum nor can you harvest the better fruits of life without help and ENCOURAGEMENT from others.

Realize that true happiness lies within you. Waste no time and effort searching for peace and contentment and joy in the world outside. Remember that there is no happiness in having or in getting, but only in giving. Reach out. Share. Smile. Hug. Happiness is a perfume you cannot pour on others without getting a few drops on yourself.

The master of a single trade can support a family. The master of seven trades cannot support himself. The wind is never for the sailor who knows not to what port he is bound.

Cultivate the habit of laughter.
