I will touch a life today

A frail old man went to live with his son, daughter-in-law, and four-year - old grandson. The old man's hands trembled, his eyesight was blurred, and his step faltered. The family ate together at the table. But the elderly grandfather's shaky hands and failing sight made eating difficult. Peas rolled off his spoon onto the floor. When he grasped the glass, milk spilled on the tablecloth. The son and daughter-in-law became irritated with the mess. 'We must do something about father,' said the son. 'I've had enough of his spilled milk, noisy eating, and food on the floor.' So the husband and wife set a small table in the corner. There, Grandfather ate alone while the rest of the family enjoyed dinner. Since Grandfather had broken a dish or two, his food was served in a wooden bowl. When the family glanced in Grandfather's direction, sometimes he had a tear in his eye as he sat alone. Still, the only words the couple had for him were sharp...

Instructions Step1 Keep nagging to a minimum. This rarely works and doesn't help the relationship. If you need him to do something, ask nicely and with respect. Step2 Welcome him home with a smile and a hug instead of a sour face. Listen to him talk about his day, especially if it was a difficult one. Step3 Plan little surprises for him. They do not have to be elaborate and can be as simple as getting him his favorite snack to let him know you are thinking of him. Or, plan a surprise date night with him. Step4 Give him his space. Encourage him to go out and hang out with his friends for a break or engage in a hobby or sport that he likes. Step5 Cook him his favorite dishes once in a while even if you would rather eat something else. Step6 Express your love and appreciation often. Find time to be intimate even though you may be tired; it's an expression of your love for him. Step7 Join him in activities that he's interested in. Watching Sunday football may ...

Be an optimist and try to see the opportunity in every misfortune, not a pessimist that sees misfortune in every opportunity. The optimist sees the doughnut, the pessimist sees the hole. You can develop success from every failure. Discouragement and failure are two stepping stones to success. No other elements can do so much for you if you're willing to study them and make them work for you. View every problem as an opportunity. When it is dark enough, you can see the stars.

Life is made up of a series of experiences. Each one will make you stronger, even though it may be hard for you to realize it at the time. Life is your classroom in which you're being tested, tried, and passed. Always try to stay in the midst of life and activity. Don't isolate yourself from the action. Your character develops itself in the stream of life. The setbacks and hardships you endure actually help you in your march forward to success. The world was built to develop your character. Life expects you to make progress in reasonable time. That's why those elementary school chairs are so small. "You can conquer almost any fear if you will make up your mind to do so. For remember, fear doesn't exist anywhere except in the mind." it is only after hurt that strength shines out. scars are perfect!

No one talks about SILENT FRIENDSHIPS - where there is no broadcasting, no pictures together, no one really knows how close you are, no pressure, just simple effort of understanding and love. - Lady ᙠ ʚɞ

I've learned that no matter how thin you slice it, there's always two sides. I've learned that it's taking me a long time to become the person I want to be. I've learned that it's a lot easier to react than it is to stop and think. I've learned that you either control your attitude or it controls you. I've learned that maturity has more to do with what types of experiences you've had, and what you've learned from them, than how many birthdays you've celebrated. I've learned that quality is more important than quantity when it comes to friends. I've learned that it isn't enough to be forgiven by others. Sometimes you just have to learn how to forgive yourself. I've learned that no matter how badly your heart is broken, the world won't stop for you. I've learned that backgrounds and circumstances might have influenced who you are, but we are responsible for the people we become. I've learned that y...

You don't have to buy from anyone. You don't have to work at any particular job. You don't have to participate in any given relationship. You can choose. You steer the course you choose in the direction of where you want to be today, tomorrow, or in a distant time to come. You hold the tiller. You can decide to alter the course of your life at any time. No one can ever take that away from you. You can decide what you want and go after it. It's always your next move. You don't have to buy from anyone. You don't have to work at any particular job. You don't have to participate in any given relationship. You can choose. You steer the course you choose in the direction of where you want to be today, tomorrow, or in a distant time to come. You hold the tiller. You can decide to alter the course of your life at any time. No one can ever take that away from you. You can decide what you want and go after it. It's always your next move.

It's your life. You decide what you're going to do with it. If you don't run your own life, someone else will. You're in control of your life to the degree that you make decisions. To control the outcome of anything, you control the action at the point of decision making. If you let others make decisions for you, you give up control. When you control the decisions, you control the actions. Take charge of your life, so there is no longer a need to ask permission of others. When you ask permission, you are giving someone veto power over your life. Only you are responsible for your life. Take control and start making those decisions.

You don't need an explanation for everything. There are such things as miracles, events for which there are no ready explanations. Future knowledge may explain these events quite simply. Any form of sufficiently advanced technology can be quite indistinguishable from magic when it's introduced for the first time. Seeing, hearing, feeling are all miracles as well as each part of you. Seeing is not always believing. You know much more than you understand. Have the vision to see invisible things.

Without goals there is no achievement. A set definitive objective must be established if you're to accomplish anything in a big way. The first step to getting the things you want out of life is this: "decide what you want" The world will turn aside and let you pass if you know where you're going. Goals give you a starting place and a destination. Determine what you want. Decide on your major objectives, targets and destination. You can plant your own dream with a goal. "People with goals succeed because they know where they are going..It's as simple as that." Earl Nightingale
