"Success is largely a matter of holding on after others have let go."

===========================================
"The roots of education are bitter, but the fruit is sweet."
... Aristotle, philosopher
===========================================
GREAT Thoughts...
Morale is when your hands and feet keep on working when your head says it can't be done. One of the greatest pleasures in life is doing what people say you can't. The trouble with most of us in trying times is that we quit trying. It takes courage to stand up and speak as well as to sit down and listen.
===========================================
Give with love
Give people more than they expect and do it cheerfully.
===========================================
"The difference between the impossible and the possible lies in a man's determination."
...Tommy Lasorda
===========================================
If you cannot be satisfied with what you have,
you must learn to be satisfied with what you haven't.
===========================================
First a person should put his house together,
then his town, then the world.
...Rabbi Israel Salanter
===========================================
"You might well remember that nothing can bring you success but yourself." Napoleon Hill
===========================================
"Life's real failure is when you do not realize how close you were to success when you gave up."
===========================================
"The will to win, the desire to succeed,
the urge to reach your fullpotential...
these are the keys that will unlock
the door to personal excellence."
... Eddie Robinson
===========================================
Add Fitness to your Daily Routine.
If you find you can't devote enough time to getting in shape as you would like, there are still plenty of ways you can keep your body active while going about your normal routine. Try to use stairways instead of elevators whenever possible.If you can walk there or take a bike, let your body burn energy instead of taking your car.If you are driving, instead of wasting time looking for a good spot, park further away and walk a couple extra blocks.Turn your housework into a fitness challenge: Sweep and mop using as much energy as possible, exaggerating your arm movements. Fold your clothes and do a couple sets of squats at the same time. Whatever you're doing try and incorporate in some sort of routine that gets your muscles working and heart rate moving.And if you absolutely can't miss your favorite show on TV, try doing some sit-ups and push-ups while you watch or during commercials.
===========================================
THE ORIGIN OF TRUE WEALTH
“That gain cannot be made without some other person's loss” is an antiquated belief still held by many; if this were true, then one would need to point out those that lost WHILE we became surrounded by wealth, wealth that the world increases by the minute. We mostly create wealth, not filch it from others, as some tend to believe.
===========================================
GREAT Advice...
Be understanding to your enemies.
Be loyal to your friends.
Be strong enough to face the world each day.
Be weak enough to know you cannot do everything alone.
Be generous to those who need your help.
Be frugal with what you need yourself.
Be wise enough to know that you do not know everything.
Be foolish enough to believe in miracles.
Be willing to share your joys.
Be willing to share the sorrows of others.
Be a leader when you see a path others have missed.
Be a follower when you are shrouded by the mists of uncertainty.
Be the first to congratulate an opponent who succeeds.
Be the last to criticize a colleague who fails.
Be sure where your next step will fall, so that you will not tumble.
Be sure of your final destination, in case you are going the wrong way.
Be loving to those who love you.
Be loving to those who do not love you, and they may change.
Above all, be yourself.
===========================================
Inspirational Thoughts...

It is not the critic who counts. Not the man who points out how the strong man stumbled or where the doer of deeds could have done better.
The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena,whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs and comes short again and again; who knows the great enthusiasms, the great devotions; who spends himself in a worthy cause.
Who, at the best, knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who, at the worst, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those timid souls who know neither victory nor defeat.
...Theodore Roosevelt 1858-1919, Twenty-sixth President of the USA
===========================================
Nobody stands taller than those willing to stand corrected.
...William Safire, Columnist
===========================================
Unnecessary stress
In a relationship you need two things: trust and communication. If you have neither, then you don't have a relationship. You have a project that just creates unnecessary stress.
===========================================
Learning from failure
You've failed many times, although you don't remember. You fell down the first time you tried to walk. You almost drowned the first time you tried to swim. . . . Don't worry about failure. . . . Worry about the chances you miss when you don't even try.-- Sherman Finesilver, US District Court Judge
===========================================
Muscle building golden rules
When lifting weights always select the right amount of weight, typically you should be able to handle the load for ten to twelve repetitions. Working your muscles that many times build them, lifting something heavy a few times just makes it tired. As a rule if you are not able to lift a weight at least six times is too heavy, if you lift it more than twelve times increase the weight or you are not progressing. Always take 1 minute breaks in between sets. Start with 1 or two sets of the same exercise and grow from there, remember never exercise the same muscles in subsequent days.
===========================================

Paano KONTROLIN ang EMOSYON. . . [very nice...friends please read]

This is a very good reminder for all of us.

HOW TO CONTROL EMOTIONS

This would give you guides on how to control your emotions towards your better-half, friends, officemates and all the people around you, especially your "boss". The rules of practicing "ugaling langit, ugaling kaaya-aya" :

#1 Ang naunang magalit ang may karapatang magalit. Pag naunahan ka na ng galit niya, tumahimik ka na lang muna.

#2 Walang taong nag-aaway mag-isa. Pag hindi kayo sumagot o pumatol, titigil din daw ang taong nakikipag- away sa inyo.

#3 Ang taong galit, 'bingi.' If someone is angry, wala raw pinakikinggan, so, don't try to explain and fight back. Hindi ka niya iintindihin dahil wala siyang naririnig kundi ang sarili nya.

#4 Ang taong galit, 'abnoy.' Ayon sa pastor, Biblical daw ito? because the Lord said when He was crucified, "Father, patawarin mo sila dahil hindi nila alam ang kanilang ginagawa." Modern term for these kinds of people are abnoys, so you better not get angry para huwag kang matawag na abnoy.

You should also know and realize that the persons who make your day bad are jewel, because you need them for you to mature. Hangga't andyan daw sila at kinaiinisan mo, ibig sabihin, immature ka pa. God will not take away those people; it's for you to take away your bad feelings towards them. You'll know na mature ka na pag dumating 'yung time na hindi ka na naiinis sa mga taong ito because you have learned to accept them and to have patience with them.

#5 Finally, the best part of this is to tell yourself na, because of this

person, "I will grow mature," and that DAHIL SA CONTRIBUTION NIYA SA

MATURITY MO, KUKUNIN DIN SYA NI LORD.
