A Blessing

Live each day to the fullest. Get the most from each hour, each day, each age of your life.
Then you can look forward with confidence, and back without regrets. Be yourself - but be your best self.
Dare to be different and to follow your own star. And don’t be afraid to be happy.
Enjoy what is beautiful. Love with all your heart and soul.
Believe that those who love, love you. Forget what you have done for your friends, and remember what they have done for you.
Disregard what the world owes you and concentrate on what you owe the world. When you are faced with a decision, make that decision as wisely as possible - then forget it.
The moment of absolute certainty never arrives.
Blessed is the generation in which the old listens to the young; and doubly blessed is the generation in which the young listen to the old.

- Talmud

Speech

  “To say the right thing at the right time, keep still most of the time.”     John W. Roper Those who get in trouble most often are those cannot seem to keep still, remain silent.  Life teaches many lessons.  Among the best lessons of life is one my father taught me at an early age was, “If you have nothing nice to say, say nothing.” The contributions we make to life via our mouth are many and varied.  Most of the time, I reckon, they are not contributions at all, but things that diminish the richness of life.    

The Price of Misjudgment

“If a man does not judge himself, all things judge him, and all things become messengers of God.” – Nachman of Bratslav ”If I do not accept responsibility for the evil I do, the very earth will rise up to judge and condemn me. The stars, the trees in the wind will provide sentence…”   -Julius Lester
