POINTS TO PONDER You can love me, but I must make me happy. You can teach me, but I must do the learning. You can guide me, but I will have to walk the path. You can coach me, but I must win the game. You can even promote me, but I must be successful. You can even pity me, but I will still have to bear the sorrow.                                                                                               – Unknown Let not your mind run on what you lack as much as on what you have already. Of the things you have, select the best; and then reflect how eagerly they would have been sought if you did not have them. – Marcus Aurelius Have courage for the great sorrows of life and patience for the small ones; and when you have laboriously accomplished your daily task, go to sleep in peace. God is awake.                                                                              – Victor Hugo For three things I thank God every day of my life. Thanks that He has vouchsafed me knowledge of His work; deep thanks that He has set in my darkness the lamp of faith; deep, deepest thanks that I have another life to look forward to — a joyous life with light, flowers and heavenly song. – Helen Keller
