Know the difference
Know the difference between pretending and pre-tending. Pretending about something desired may be pleasant, yet pretending is relatively powerless. In contrast, pre-tending is to 'pre-take care of', to actively embrace the perception, risk, effort and work of something desired before it happens. Also, in contrast to pretending, pre-tending attracts into motion the infinite resources of the Universe. I like the example of pre-tending a rose bush - as in watering and caring for a rose bush long before roses are visible. Are you pretending or pre-tending your goals and dreams?

lessons
Wise people learn lessons from other people's mistakes.
Smart people learn lessons by not repeating the same mistake twice.
Stupid people learn lessons by making the same mistake over and over again until could not afford the consequence.
However from stupid to wise, just a slight change of your own mindset.

beginning and end
Right from the moment of our birth, we are under the care and kindness of our parents, and then later on in our life when we are oppressed by sickness and become old, we are again dependent on the kindness of others. Since at the beginning and end of our lives we are so dependent on other's kindness, how can it be in the middle that we would neglect kindness towards others?

成功的道歉
好的道歉,要先让双方地位「打平」,再把是否「宽恕」的权力,交给受害者
成功的道歉,关键在于加害者必须将自己转换成受害者,让受害的一方感到你也受到同等程度的伤害。
只要在第一时间表示「诚心」的道歉,通常可以避免伤害继续扩大。

changes
You never change things by fighting the existing reality. To change something, build a new model that makes the existing model obsolete.
Buckminster Fuller, 1895-1983
American Visionary, Architect and Poet
God hath not promised
God hath not promised
Skies always blue,
Flower-strewn pathways
All our lives through;
God hath not promised
Sun without rain,
Joy without sorrow,
Peace without pain.But God hath promised
Strength for the day,
Rest for the labour,
Light for the way,
Grace for the trials,
Help from above,
Unfailing sympathy,
Undying love.
Annie Johnson Flint, 1866-1932
American Teacher and Poet

对待你当年的敌人,且把敌人变成朋友。

不是人生最大的成功吗?
是不是:如果你是正确的,你的世界就是正确的?
An Easter Person
I am part of the fellowship of unashamed, I have the Holy Spirit's power.The die has been cast. I have stepped over the line. The decision has been made. I'm a disciple of Jesus. I don't look back, let up. slow down, back away, or be still.
My past is redeemed; my present makes sense, my future secure. I'm finished and done with low living, small plannings, smooth knees, colorless dreams, tamed visions, worldly talking, cheap giving and dwarfed goals.
I no longer need preeminence, prosperity, position, promotions, plaudits or popularity. I don't have to be right, first, tops, recognized , praised, regarded or rewarded. I know life by faith, lean on Jesus' presence, walk by patience, am uplifed by prayer, and I labor with power.
My force is set, my gait is fast, my goal is heaven, my road is narrow, my way rough, my compainons few, my guide reliable, my mission clear. I cannot be brought, compromised, detoured, lured away, turned back, deluded or delayed. I will not flinch in the face of sacrifice, hesitate in the presence of the enemy, ponder at the pool of popularity, or meander in the maze of mediocrity.
I won't give up, shut up, let up, until I have stayed up, stored up, prayed up, paid up and preached for the cause of Christ, I am a dcisciple of Jesus. I must go until he comes , give utill I drop,, preach utill all know and work utill he stops me. And when he comes for his own, he will have no problem recognizing me..... My banner will be clear.
