Count Your Blessings

"Be thankful for each new challenge, because it will build your strength and character."

“It isn't what you have in your pocket that makes you thankful, but what you have in your heart.”

“Be thankful for what you have; you'll end up having more. If you concentrate on what you don't have, you will never, ever have enough.” - Oprah Winfrey

"There is always, always, always something to be thankful for."

"God gave you a gift of 86,400 seconds today. Have you used one to say 'thank you'?" - William Arthur Ward

Be Improvement-Conscious

Every one of us has the potential of greatness, waiting to be developed.

"Perhaps the most valuable result of all education is the ability to make yourself do the thing you have to do, when it ought to be done, whether you like it or not." - Walter Bagehot

Don't be yourself. Improve yourself.

No one ever finds time for self-improvement. Serious ones make time. They decide on priorities. Without priorities of time, no one reaches his potential.

People seldom improve unless they have models greater than themselves. Adopt a few.

Every morning say: "I will improve something today." Every successful man is improvement-conscious.

You won't understand unless you are one!

"Not everyone can be an orphan." - Andre Gide

"One father is more than a hundred Schoolmasters." - George Herbert

The parents' life is the child's copybook. Two parents teach more than 20 teachers.

The Bible in James 1:27 (NIV) tell us that "Religion that God our Father accepts as pure and faultless is this: to look after orphans and widows in their distress and to keep oneself from being polluted by the world."
