What to do now

To laugh often and much


 


To win the respect of intelligent people


and the affection of children


 


To earn the appreciation of honest critics


and endure the betrayal of false friends


 


To appreciate beauty


To find the best in others


 


To leave the world a bit better


whether by a healthy child, a garden patch


or a redeemed social condition


 


To know even one life has breathed easier


because you have lived


 


This is to have succeeded


 


Ralph Waldo Emerson


 


 


Be


fair


compassionate


tolerant


polite


appreciative


sincere


flexible


grateful


loving


enthusiastic


patient


supportive


and responsible


See everything


overlook a great deal


correct a little


 


Pope John XXIII


Listen to silence


 


Be counterintuitive


 


Make enemies friends
