A Poetic Break

Hope

Hope is the sweet, sweet scent of flowers in the morning
Hope is the cool gentle breeze on a warm summer's day
Hope is the knowledge of stability from a son in mourning
Hope is the bright shining light keeping darkness at bay

Hope is the calming warmth during a cold winter
Hope is the determination of an athlete on the track
Hope is the potential of a newborn baby
Hope is the love between you and me

Hope springs eternal

A Note From The President

Avil Beckford, President

 

Henry Knight Miller said:

"If you don't like where you are, change what you are." It's the end of a year, are you contented with where you are in life? Are you satisfied with what you've accomplished this year? And more importantly, are you satisfied with who you have become? Jim Rohn, a business philosopher often says, "For things to change, we must change." Do you agree that the change starts with you?

It's very important that we regularly reflect on our lives and decide if we need to adjust the course that we are taking. If you could have anything in the world, and Aladdin and Aladdina, your personal genies asked you what you wanted with all your heart and soul, how would you respond? Would you even know how to respond? Spend some time this holiday season thinking about this. Wishing you Happy Holidays!

Book Review

Review of Anyway: The Paradoxical Commandments, Kent M. Keith

This is not one of my traditional book reviews. A friend gave me Anyway: The Paradoxical Commandments as a gift, and even though I read it a few years ago, I thought that there was a reason for her giving me this particular book so I read it again. I would like to share the following with you, because they are good to reflect on.

The 10 Paradoxical Commandments

  1. People are illogical, unreasonable, and self-centred. Love them anyway.
  2. If you do good, people will accuse you of selfish ulterior motives. Do good anyway.
  3. If you are successful, you will win false friends and true enemies. Succeed anyway.
  4. The good you do today will be forgotten tomorrow. Do good anyway.
  5. Honesty and frankness make you vulnerable. Be honest and frank anyway.
  6. The biggest men and women with the biggest ideas can be shot down by the smallest men and women with the smallest minds. Think big anyway.
  7. People favor underdogs but follow only top dogs. Fight for a few underdogs anyway.
  8. What you spend years building may be destroyed overnight. Build anyway.
  9. People really need help but may attack you if you help them. Help people anyway.
  10. Give the world the best you have and you'll get kicked in the teeth. Give the world the best you have anyway.
