Great advice my mother included in a book she made called Smile with Love:
The most destructive habit is worry.The greatest joy is giving.The greatest loss is that of self-respect.The most satisfying work is helping others. The most endangered species are dedicated leaders. Our greatest natural resources are our young people. The greatest boost we can get is encouragement. The greatest problem to overcome is fear. The most effective sleeping pill is peace of mind. The most crippling obstacle to progress are excuses. The most powerful force in life is love. The greatest soother and comforter is prayer. The most dangerous pariah is a gossiper. The world’s most incredible computer is our brain. The worst thing to be without is hope. The deadliest weapon is a sharp tongue. The most powerful words are “I can”. Our greatest asset is faith. The most beautiful attire is a smile. The most appreciated word is “thank you”.The most contagious spirit is enthusiasm. To the world you may be one person but to one person you may be the world!
