I came across something that I thought would be interesting to contemplate. The author of this article, entitled Things to Rememberanonymous.
According to Will Rogers, "None of us is smart enough to remember everything he knows. We need reminding." With that in mind, here are twelve things to remember:
1. The value of time, meaning not wasting it on activities that do nothing to help us grow and bring enjoyment.
2. The success of perseverance. That's an important one. Perseverance can accomplish almost anything.
3. The pleasure of working. Working is a pleasure when we do it because we want to, not because we have to.
4. The dignity of simplicity. The simpler it is, the easier it is.
5. The worth of character is one thing each of us can build for ourselves. It gives value to our life.
6. The power of example. Children and adults, without even becoming aware of it, learn so much from positive and negative examples. Role models have such an influence.
7. The influence of life. The example set by parents will have a much greater influence on a child's life than all the schooling or all the talking in the world. The secret is this: Don't tell him; show him.
8. The obligation of duty gives meaning to our lives. It is our duty to carry out our obligations; doing so brings satisfaction to others and us.
9. The wisdom of economy ties in greatly with number four, above, the dignity of simplicity.
10. The virtue of patience. Half the problems of the world could be prevented by patience. You'll be surprised with the outcome of your patience.
11. The improvement of talent. That's how we grow and mature and how we mature at whatever we have chosen, of our own free will, to do with our lives.
12. The joy of originating. There's nothing that creates as much pride and enjoyment as the satisfaction of being able to say, "I made that!"
Remember: When you maximize your potential, everyone wins. When you don't, we all lose.
