The trouble with so many of us is that we underestimate the power of simplicity. We have a tendency it seems to over complicate our lives and forget what's important and what's not. We tend to mistake movement for achievement. We tend to focus on activities instead of results. And as the pace of life continues to race along in the outside world, we forget that we have the power to control our lives regardless of what's going on outside.
Robert Stuberg

We are for aiding our allies by sharing some of our material blessings with those nations which share in our fundamental beliefs, but we are against doling out money government to government, creating bureaucracy, if not socialism, all over the world. We set out to help 19 countries. We are helping 107 We spent $146 billion. With that money, we bought a 2-million-dollar yacht for Haile Selassie. We bought dress suits for Greek undertakers, extra wives for Kenya government officials. We bought a thousand TV sets for a place where they have no electricity.

Well, very nice. Thank you Mr. Chris Ryser. This is the first time I read this quote. Never have I read or heard this from anyone. It really made my day. This quote inspires me a lot.
You're right actually. Not all professionals make something perfectly but there are also amateurs who made a wonderful invention! Just keep on trying new things. Go beyond your limits and usual activities! Who knows, you'll make something great in the end?
He who has a thousand friends has not a friend to spare, And he who has one enemy will meet him everywhere.

It's very easy to forgive others their mistakes, it takes more gut and gumption to forgive them for having witnessed your own.
Jessamyn West
There are only two things to worry about, either you are healthy or you are sick. If you are healthy, then there is nothing to worry about. But if you are sick there are only two things to worry about, either you will get well or you will die. If you get well, then there is nothing to worry about. But if you die there are only two things to worry about, either you will go to heaven or to hell. If you go to heaven, then there is nothing to worry about. And if you to go hell, you'll be so darn busy shaking hands with your friends you won't have time to worry!
