Life gives you what you expect
The happiest people in life
don't necessarily have
the best of everything.
They just try to make the best
of everything.
They're like the person
in a remote village
going to a well everyday
to get water
who says,
"Every time I come to this well,
I come away with my bucket full!"
instead of, "I can't believe
I have to keep coming back
to this well to fill up my bucket."
A person's attitude has a profound
influence on his approach to life.
Ask a coach before a big game
whether his attitude
and that of his players
will make a difference
in the outcome of the game.
Ask a surgeon
if the patient's attitude matters
when she's trying to save that life
in an emergency room.
Ask a teacher if students' attitudes
have an impact before they take a test.
One of the things I've learned
is that life often gives you
whatever you expect from it.
If you expect bad things,
those are what you get.
If you expect good things,
you often receive them.
I don't know why it works that way,
but it does.
If you don't believe me,
try it out.
Give yourself thirty days
in which you expect the best
of everything:
the best parking place,
the best table in the restaurant,
the best interaction with clients,
the best treatment from service people.
You'll be surprised
by what you encounter,
especially if you give
your very best to others
in every situation as well.
Begin your 30-day trail
of expecting the best
of everything

Where Do I Begin,
to Tell The Story
of When My Life Began...
Little chapters
of little moments
of when
I saw good or bad;
how it all took effect
on my life
to mold me into the person
I am today and also
how I can say today:
IN TIME
