The pessimist borrows trouble; the optimists lend encouragement.

A mediocre music teacher tells. A good music teacher explains. A superior music teacher demonstrates. A great music teacher inspires.

The optimist lives on the peninsula of infinite possibilities; the pessimist is stranded on the island of perpetual indecision.

Blessed is the person who sees the need, recognizes the responsibility, and actively becomes the answer.

Gratitude can transform common days into thanksgivings, turn routine jobs into joy, and change ordinary opportunities into blessings.” —

The adventure of life is to learn.

A well-developed sense of humor is the pole that adds balance to your steps as you walk the tightrope of life.
