~ HOPE ~

Hope is the companion of power, and mother of success;
for who so hopes strongly has within him the gift of miracles.

** Samuel Smiles **

I've learned that it's not what you have in your life,
but who you have in your life that counts.

I've learned that you can get by on charm for about 15 minutes.
After that, you'd better know something.

I've learned that you shouldn't compare yourself to the best
others can do, but to the best YOU can do.

I've learned that it's not what happens to people that's important.
It's what they do about it.

I've learned that no matter how thin you slice it,
there are always two sides.

I've learned that we are responsible for what we do,
no matter how we feel.

I've learned that either you control your attitude or it controls you.

I've learned that if you don't want to forget something,
stick it in your underwear drawer.

I've learned that two people can look at the exact same thing
and see something totally different.

I've learned that your life can be changed in a matter of hours
by people who don't even know you.

I've learned that no matter the consequences,
those who are honest with themselves, get farther in life.

I've learned that it's taking me a long time to become the person I want to be.

I've learned that you can keep going long after you think
you can't believe.

I've learned that credentials on the wall do not make you a decent human being.

I've learned that true friendship continues to grow,
even over the longest distance.
