Nothing In Life Is To Be Feared

Nothing in life is to be feared.
It is only to be understood.
When you dare to face the things which scareyou,
you open the door to freedom.

Most of your obstacles would melt away if,
instead of cowering before them
or procrastinating about dealing with them,
you would make up your mind to walk boldlythrough them.

Do not be afraid to take the steps you needto take
to make those positive changes in your life.
To fight fear, act.
To increase fear, wait, put off, postpone.

If you understood enough,
you would never be afraid.

There is Always a Good Side

Be an optimist and try to see the opportunityin every misfortune,
not a pessimist that sees misfortune in everyopportunity.
The optimist sees the doughnut, the pessimistsees the hole.

You can develop success from every failure.
Discouragement and failure are two steppingstones to success.
No other elements can do so much for you
if you are willing to study them and makethem work for you.

View every problem as an opportunity.
When it is dark enough you can see the stars.

Blinding Power

Power comes with responsibility,
a wise man once said.
To be a leader with power,
it doesn't mean you're all great.

Leadership is action,
and not a post.
Power should be to help others,
and not used for boast.

We tend to get excited,
with the power we use.
But we should not step over others,
for power's not for abuse.

How we deal with power,
will determine the messages sent.
Remember abuse brings along enemies,
while the opposite brings friends.
