• How do I change?
    If I feel depressed I will sing.
    If I feel sad I will laugh.
    If I feel ill I will double my labour.
    If I feel fear I will plunge ahead.
    If I feel inferior I will wear new garments.
    If I feel uncertain I will raise my voice.
    If I feel poverty I will think of wealth to come.
    If I feel incompetent I will think of past success.
    If I feel insignificant I will remember my goals.
    Today I will be the master of my emotions.            -Og Mandino, “The Greatest Salesman in the World”
  • I cannot believe that the purpose of life is to be happy. I think the purpose of life is to be useful, to be responsible, to be compassionate. It is, above all to matter, to count, to stand for something, to have made some difference that you lived at all.   -Leo Rosten
