SOMETHING TO PONDER OVER  Start Counting... Count your garden by the flowers, Never by the leaves that fall. Count your days by golden hours, Don’t remember clouds at all. Count your nights by stars, Not shadows. Count your life with smiles, Not tears and with joy on every birthday. Count your age by friends, Not years.                                           ******************************************* “I was once travelling in the Himalayas and the long road stretched before us. There was an old man with us. He said, “Oh, Sir, I cannot walk any more; my chest will break.” I said to him, “Look down at your feet.” He did so, and I said, “The road that is under your feet is the road that you have passed over and is the same road that you see before you; it will soon be under your feet.” –Swami Vivekananda                                                             *********************** If you have a problem, apply the magic formula of Willis H. Carrier by doing these three things: 1. Ask yourself, “What is the worst that can possibly happen?” 2. Prepare yourself to accept it if you have to. 3. Then calmly proceed to improve on the worst.                                                     **********************************
