"We make a living by what we get, but we make a life by what
we give." -- Norman MacEwan
------------------------------------------------------------
A poem hangs on the wall at Mother Theresa's orphanage in
India. For all who are called to lead, it is a great
reminder of what we should do:
1. People are illogical, unreasonable and self-centered
(including me). 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 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 people with the biggest ideas can be shot
down by the littlest people with the littlest ideas.
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 do
help them. Help them anyway.
10. Give the world the best you have and you will get
kicked in the teeth. Give the best you have anyway.

Quote:
"Realize that true happiness lies within you. Waste no time
and effort searching for peace and contentment and joy in
the world outside. Remember that there is no happiness in
having or in getting, but only in giving. Reach out. Share.
Smile. Hug. Happiness is a perfume you cannot pour on others
without getting a few drops on yourself." -- Og Mandino

Tip:
Before purchasing a list of consumers or businesses you
would like to target from any list broker, find out whether
your nearest large metropolitan public library subscribes
to a database called ReferenceUSA.com. If so, you can
download your list from the library at absolutely no cost.
That can be a HUGE money-saving tip!

"It is one of the most beautiful compensations of life, that
no man can sincerely try to help another without helping
himself." -- Ralph Waldo Emerson
