Better Times Will Come
Better Times Will Come
Don’t let the pain of one season, destroy the joy of all the rest.
Don’t judge life by one difficult season.
Persevere through the difficult patches;
And better times are sure to come some time or late.

If Life Is Water
If life is water, then the jobs, money and position we hold in society are the cups.
They are just tools to hold and maintain our life; but the quality of life doesn't change.
If we only concentrate on the cup, we won't have time to enjoy or taste the water in it.

A Lesson to Teach
Her name was Mrs. Thompson. As she stood in front of her 5th grade class on the very first day of school, she told the children a lie.
Like most teachers, she looked at her students and said that she loved them all the same. But that was impossible, because there in the front row, slumped in his seat, was a little boy named Teddy Stoddard.
Mrs.Thompson had watched Teddy the year before and noticed that he didn't play well with the other children that his clothes were messy and that he constantly needed a bath. And Teddy could be unpleasant. It got to the point where Mrs.Thompson would actually take delight in marking his papers with a broad red pen, making bold X's and then putting a big "F" at the top of his papers.
At the school where Mrs. Thompson taught, she was required to review each child's past records and she put Teddy's off until last. However, when she reviewed his file, she was in for a surprise.
Teddy's first grade teacher wrote, "Teddy is a bright child with a ready laugh. He does his work neatly and has good manners... he is a joy to be around."

A little more persistence, a little more effort
A little more persistence, a little more effort, and what seemed hopeless failure may turn to glorious success.
