"Did you ever see an unhappy horse? Did you ever see a bird that had the blues? One reason why birds and horses are not unhappy is because they are not trying to impress other birds and horses"....Dale Carnegie.
I'm just not so sure about this one!!! I have seen some little birds that seemed very sad....birds who had stopped singing :-( And they say horses are the "most" sick creature when they are sick....so while it isn't because they are trying to impress....we ALL have problems. I for one could have cared less about impressing anyone when I was online and ever sooo sad....nothing seemed to matter....definitely not impressing anyone. My opinion, you have to care about yourself to want to impress anyone....
The following is taken from Dale Carnegie's Scrapbook....
"Remember happiness doesn't depend upon who you are or what you have; it depends solely upon what you think. So start each day by thinking of all the things you have to be thankful for. Your future will depend very largely on the thoughts you think today. So think thoughts of hope and confidence and love and success"....Dale Carnegie.
Well, I have a start here. I have a lot of hope....but I really have little confidence. They say that will come with experience. Just recently someone said they couldn't believe I don't have any confidence!!! I thought where would anyone get the idea I am confident??? I use quotes to say everything....because as Brendan Francis says, "A quotation in a speech, article or book is like a rifle in the hands of an infantryman. It speaks with authority." My confidence is in the quotes....
