"The most important thing in life is not simply to capitalize on your gains. Any fool can do that. The important thing is to profit from your losses"....William Bolitho, taken from How To win Friends & Influence People by Dale Carnegie.
Well, I take my gains for granted. I have not really learned to appreciate what I truly have....yet I do feel as if all I "lost" due to my past life online has been the basis for my growth in relationships. I have a LONG way to go....
The following is taken from Dale Carnegie's Scrapbook....
"Face your deficiencies and acknowledge them; but do not let them master you. Let them teach you patience, sweetness, insight. True education combines intellect, beauty, goodness, and the greatest of these is goodness. When we do the best that we can, we never know what miracle is wrought in our life, or in the life of another"....Helen Keller.
Just this past month, I shared with a friend that I fear I am failing in my attempt to share. His encouragement gave me courage...."Friendship is a strong and habitual inclination in two persons to promote the good and happiness of one another"....
