Not exactly music-related, but I found this on my computer today and remembered how much I like the message.....
“Be brave. Even if
you’re not, pretend to be. No one can tell the difference. Don’t allow the
phone to interrupt important moments. It’s there for your convenience, not the
callers. Don’t be afraid to go out on a limb. That’s where the fruit is. Don’t
burn bridges. You’ll be surprised how many times you have to cross the same
river. Don’t forget, a
person’s greatest emotional need is to feel appreciated . Don’t major in
minor things.
Don’t say you don’t
have enough time. You have exactly the same number of hours per day that were
given to Pasteur, Michaelangelo, Mother Teresa, Helen Keller, Leonardo Da
Vinci, Thomas Jefferson, and Albert Einstein.
Don’t spread yourself
too thin. Learn to say no politely and quickly. Don’t use time or words
carelessly. Neither can be retrieved. Don’t waste time grieving over past
mistakes Learn from them and move on. Every person needs to have their moment
in the sun, when they raise their arms in victory, knowing that on this day, at
his hour, they were at their very best.
Get your priorities
straight. No one ever said on his death bed, ‘Gee, if I’d only spent more time
at the office’. Give people a second chance, but not a third. Judge your
success by the degree that you’re enjoying peace, health and love. Learn to
listen. Opportunity sometimes knocks very softly. Leave everything a little
better than you found it. Live your life as an exclamation, not an explanation.
Loosen up. Relax. Except for rare life and death matters, nothing is as
important as it first seems.
Never cut what can be
untied. Never overestimate your power to change others. Never underestimate
your power to change yourself. Remember that overnight success usually takes
about fifteen years. Remember that winners do what losers don’t want to do.
Seek opportunity, not security. A boat in harbor is safe, but in time its
bottom will rot out. Spend less time worrying who’s right, more time deciding
what’s right. Stop blaming others. Take responsibility for every area of your
life. Success is getting what you want. Happiness is liking what you get. The
importance of winning is not what we get from it, but what we become because of
it. When facing a difficult task, act as though it’s impossible to fail.”
