failure or success depends on you

FORGET THE PAST

The past is only alive if you keep it alive. You can’t change yesterday but you can build today for tomorrow. Don’t shackle yourself with regrets. Don’t start feeling sorry for yourself. Whatever your previous circumstances, others have gotten through the same or worse. Appreciate yourself as a tested survivor: strong and determined. Learn from the past but don’t assume that your past automatically equals your future. Instead, fill your life with anticipation. Set your goals. Write your to-dos. Just because you haven’t done something before doesn’t mean that you can’t start doing it right now. Be the new, dynamic you. Right now.

SO WHAT IF U HAVE TO RISK NOW

Be ready. There is no better time to start taking positive action than right now. You research and you have confidence in your preparations. You don’t allow yourself to become paralyzed by indecision. You realize that a time comes when you must act. If you hesitate too long, doubts will linger and turn into fears. Yes, you may stumble. Yes, you may be rejected. Yes, you may fail. This is life. Life’s winners accept that in trying they may have to adjust and even start again and again. The difference between successful people and others is not whether you make mistakes or even temporarily fail, but how you respond. Many people look for guarantees before taking independent action. Yet, in seeking assurances, they frequently receive cautions, which can easily be used as excuses for inaction.

MAINTAIN POSITIVE..

A positive mental attitude results from a life dedicated to self-improvement and service. With a personal commitment to doing your best today, you don’t have to be overly concerned about tomorrow. You can be confident that good things will happen and be equally confident that if trouble comes you will have the strength and skills to cope, take control and then conquer. You are tough. You stay at it. You don’t allow your doubts to destroy your dreams. Hope does spring eternal. You are thankful to have the curiosity to keep learning. You are grateful to see opportunity knock so often. You are thankful to have the personality to keep making new friends. Your mind can only hold one thought at a time so make that one thought positive. Count your blessings. The way is clear. The world is a better place because you are in it.

celebration of life instead of gathering of death

Me:I read this somewhere and felt tt this person talks bout how true human look upon death of a person............

On my way home from coaching basketball yesterday, I was listening to WGN; my favorite talk radio station out of Chicago. I could tell right away that there was something wrong by the somber mood of the speaker. There had been a plane crash. Two small planes collided into each other over a northern suburb of Chicago. What made the story hit close to home was that Bob Collins, the morning show man for WGN, was the pilot of one of the planes and had been killed. (I'm sure that many readers have tuned in "Uncle Bobby" on their car radios in the Midwest.) Later that night, as I made my 40 minute drive to my third shift job, I listened as the station reminisced and paid tribute to a man who was loved by many. They told story after story, describing him as the ultimate friend, and a man who had lived life to the fullest. Genuine love and affection poured in from all over the country. The more I listened about how this man had influenced those around him, the more discouraged I became.
Why you ask?
I was discouraged because I wanted to know why we as a culture, wait until somebody has passed away before we tell them how much we love them? Why do we wait until someone's ears can't hear before we let them how much they mean to us? Why do we wait until it is too late before we recall the good qualities of a person? Why do we build someone up after they have gone into eternity? What good does it do then! We share memory after memory, as we laugh, cry, and think back about what was positive in a person's life. Yes, it does help us cope with the grief of losing someone that was special to us. And yes it does bring those who are coping, closer together. But as we lovingly remember this person, our words fall short of the ears that most needed to hear them.
Just once I would like to see a celebration of life, instead of a gathering of death. A celebration where stories are told, eyes mist over, laughter rings out; and as the speaker concludes his or her loving tribute, the person they are honoring rises from their chair and gives them the biggest bear hug! Wouldn't that be something! The special person gets to hear the stories and come to the realization that they have made a difference on this earth. And all this is done well before they leave their earthly bodies and go into eternity. And when the inevitable funeral finally comes, we can say good bye with the knowledge that they knew exactly how people felt about them while they were here on earth.

Me: wonder if u tinks the same way as me..i actualli watched a movie b4 that shows how a person who found out tt he had cancer ( last stage..and left bout 1-2 month of life) lived,this person(in the movie) organised a living funeral for himself..and gathered all his friends n relatives..they did the same procedures as wat in funeral would be and all the ppl tt attend tells him how much he meant to them...it was a successful n meaningful day for the person..upon death..everyone did not regret anithing (as in nv regret wat they nv do/say for/to him b4)..they juz say goodby3..............................
So i was thinking..everytime u read an email or something tt tells/urge u to tell someone u love how much u appreciate them n how much u treasure them and blah b4 its too late..u will feel something bout it..but do u actualli do it? this is sth we shld learnt..saying goodby3 when the time comes may not be the most impt thing.. u got to understand tt when u are able to leave this world knowing tt so mani ppl loved u b4,n how much u made each other's life something..u are someone..
Here i am..hoping everyone in this world whether alive or dead had once LIVED their life the way they wanted n may angels bless them happiness~
