I started Monday of this week with giving a talk to an auditorium full of students at Far East University. This will be followed by 4 continuous whole day training seminar. Then I will be addressing a body of 6,000 teachers and rush out of town on the same day and do another training the next day.
Whew! Physically tired but inwardly fulfilled. Especially when you see the smiles on the faces of the students and the senior execs of a very powerful and popular business organization. I am thoroughly convinced that there is no such thing as an unimportant day.
I would like to share with you this poem from an unknown source. (If you happen to discover who the author is, please do let me know so we can give proper credit.
DON’T EVER FORGET
Your presence is a gift to the world,
You’re unique and one of a kind.
Your life can be what you want it to be –
Take it one day at a time.
Count your blessings, not your troubles,
And you’ll make it through what comes along.
Within you are so many answers,
Understand, have courage, be strong.
Don’t put limits on yourself,
Your dreams are waiting to be realized.
Don’t leave your important decisions to chance –
Reach for your peak, your goal, and your prize.
Nothing wastes more energy than worrying –
The longer a problem is carried, the heavier it gets.
Don’t take things too seriously –
Live a life of serenity, not a life of regrets.
Remember that a little love goes a long way –
Remember that a lot goes forever.
Remember that friendship is a wise investment,
Life’s treasures are people… together.
Have health and hope and happiness,
Take the time to wish on a star.
And don’t ever forget for even a day…
How very special YOU are!
