MAKING A DIFFERENCE

Never, never, be afraid to do what's right, if the well-being of a person or animal is at stake. Society's punishments are small compared to the wounds we inflict on our soul when we look the other way.

Be the person who touches the lives and hearts of people. Be a positive light to others as you put a smile on their faces. For in the end...it's not what you say that matters, it's how you make them feel that lovingly stays in their memory.

“The purpose of life is not to be happy. It is to be useful, to be honorable, to be compassionate, to have it make some difference that you have lived and lived well.
― Ralph Waldo Emerson-


Our prime purpose in this life is to help others. And if you can't help them, at least don't hurt them.

What we think, or what we know, or what we believe is, in the end, of little consequence. The only consequence is what we do for others. It's how you give for those who can't pay you back, or worst, hurting those who can't fight back is what really matters.

I am not and never will be perfect. I am not always as honest, respectful, responsible, fair or as kind as I should be. All I can do is what I should do: strive every day, with every decision to be the best person I can be. I don't expect to be perfect but I know I can be better.
Michael Josephson


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.
Bessie Stanley 


There is no such thing as a 'self-made' man. We are made up of thousands of others. Everyone who has ever done a kind deed for us, or spoken one word of encouragement to us, has entered into the make-up of our character and of our thoughts, as well as our success.
George Matthew Adams


Give the world the best you have and you'll get kicked in the teeth.
Give the world the best you have anyway.
What you spend years building may be destroyed overnight.
Build anyway.
The biggest men and women with the biggest ideas can be shot down by the smallest men and women with the smallest minds.
Think big anyway.
Honesty and frankness make you vulnerable.
Be honest and frank anyway.
People really need help but may attack you if you do help them.
Help people anyway.
The good you do today will be forgotten tomorrow.
Do good anyway .
If you are successful, you will win false friends and true enemies.
Succeed anyway.

IF YOU WISH
If you wish to be respected, then be ever respectful.If you wish to be understood, then sincerely understand others.If you wish to be appreciated,then be ever grateful.If you wish to be loved, then give love in each moment. If you wish to be wealthy, then act to create real value.If you wish to learn, then take time to teach.If you wish to climb higher, then lift others up.If you wish to be wise, then share what you know.Whatever you wish, life will surely give it.What you must do, though, is to truly live it.There is so much to live for and so much to see.You will have whatever you are willing to be.

“One doesn't have to be religious to lead a moral life or attain wisdom.”
― Allan Locos, Pocket Peace:


There are three things every one of us should know and which makes us human. They are expressions of gratitude, love, and asking for forgiveness. These are common feelings which exist in the animal world too, but what makes us humans different is the power and ability to express.

Never, never, be afraid to do what's right, especially if the well-being of a person or animal is at stake. Society's punishments are small compared to the wounds we inflict on our soul when we look the other way.

We recognize our own mortality, and we are reminded that in the fleeting time we have on this Earth, what matters is not wealth, or status, or power, or fame – but rather, how well we have loved, and what small part we have played in making the lives of other people better.
Barack Barack Obama
