A Wonderful Adventure
“The purpose of life is to live it, to taste
experience to the utmost, to reach out eagerly and without fear for newer and
richer experience.”
“A mature person is one who does not think only in
absolutes, who is able to be objective even when deeply stirred emotionally,
who has learned that there is both good and bad in all people and in all
things, and who walks humbly and deals charitably with the circumstances of
life, knowing that in this world no one is all knowing and therefore all of us
need both love and charity.”
Eleanor Roosevelt the First Lady and wife of U.S
president Franklin D. Roosevelt.
1. Look fear in the face.
“You gain strength, courage and
confidence by every experience in which you really stop to look fear in the
face. You are able to say to yourself, ‘I have lived through this horror. I can
take the next thing that comes along.' You must do the thing you think you
cannot do.”
2. Do the right thing.
“Do what you feel in your heart to
be right – for you'll be criticized anyway. You'll be damned if you do, and
damned if you don't.”
“No one can make you feel inferior
without your consent.”
3. Be your own best friend.
“Friendship with ones self is all
important, because without it one cannot be friends with anyone else in the
world.”
4. Focus on the optimism.
“It is better to light one small
candle than to curse the darkness.”
“A stumbling block to the pessimist
is a stepping-stone to the optimist.”
5. Spread the happiness.
“Since you get more joy out of
giving joy to others, you should put a good deal of thought into the happiness
that you are able to give.”
6. Don’t worry so much about other
people may think.
“You wouldn't worry so much about
what others think of you if you realized how seldom they do.”
7. In the end it comes down to what
you do with your life.
“In the long run, we shape our
lives, and we shape ourselves. The process never ends until we die. And the
choices we make are ultimately our own responsibility.”
“Life is what you make it. Always
has been, always will be.”
