“God gave us this power called “Attitude” that dictates how we want the world be viewed. So great a power that if left unchecked, even He who gave it, it won’t respect.”
“Good and bad are ever at points of swords. Who’s winning? See the order of the world: “If you see greater ills—bad is winning; but if greater wellness—bad is losing.” The good news is we’re all part of the game; we’re all counted in the glory or shame. If we want the forces of bad to win, we just simply sit back and do nuthin.”
“You may be well-known but you are nothing: “All you’re doing is taking and pleasuring!” You may be ordinary but something: “All you’re doing is planting and sharing!”
“Drivers and passengers caught unbelted, due to seat belt law, will be ticketed. Anyone caught with hard drugs, small or large, due to dangerous drugs law, will be charged. How caring, indeed, are most of the laws; but I still dream of this one law of laws: “When one is caught dying from poverty, the state be charged with incompetency.”
“Performing to friends, and you they exalt, it’s safe to take it with a grain of salt; but if it came from people you know not, you bet your life there is whole truth in that.”
“Who are beautiful and who are ugly? Does it lie in your skin, face, or body? Is it in your brain like being witty, or in your spirit like being holy? Like hammer, beauty is a tool of life: It means nothing unless used to shape life. The beautiful are those who renew life; the ugly are those who trample on life.”
“Three tests to a life that joyfully glows: “Can you sleep sans worry of tomorrow? Can you walk the streets without fear of foes? Can you move about sans physical woes?”
“The reason some people won t go to heaven is because they said some people won t go to heaven.”
“All our lives, we are hard at looking for the right formula for a life galore, When all along the answer just there lays, in the attitudes we use every day.”
“There are no excuses for beggary: “We’ve got legs to escape all misery, we’ve got hands to shape our destiny, we’ve got brains to solve all difficulty.” Or we can put it in another way: “Are we poor because we’re homeless?”—No way! “Till we have and can move legs, hands, and brain, we’re left with no excuses to complain!”
“Indeed, to win and be happy in life, what we need are attitudes that bring life, not the so-called “perfect environment” that till it comes not, life’s but a lament.”
“If there’s no God, people will create one; if there’s no Satan, people will shape one. If there’s no heaven, people will form one; if there’s no hell, people will conceive one. The world’s a balance of dichotomy: “Nothing can exist without vis-à-vis.” Wealth cannot exist without poverty; doom cannot exist without liberty.”
“Don’t work slow just because “the pay is low”; rather, work hard—in time your pay will grow. Don’t feel down if your “boss plays favorites”; give all—in time you’ll be the favorite.”
“Folks will sue you, if you steal their money; but step on their egos, they will kill thee. We’ve heard of killings over just a dime; truth is—it’s the ego and not the dime. Ego stands supreme among traits of man; in it lies the whole dignity of man. Stroke it if you want him to warm to you; bash it if you want his full wrath on you.”
“Being happy through “attitudes made right” is not same as “mind calibrated right.” The former is “looking at side that’s bright,” the latter is “feigning things are alright.”
“Reality tempers all the best of plans; only its own logic it understands. It trims all fantasies, keeps the true ones; to perfection, not ruin, it commands. Dumbest though, you’ll succeed if it you heed; smartest be, if ignored, you’ll reap but weeds. Thus, when planning, drop positivity; true key is what’s there in reality.”
“If you’re looking for earthly perfection, wishing none of storms and conflagration, all are living without complications, then you’re missing the crux of creation. Life is a moving equilibrium, one wrong action tips the balance to gloom. Since man cannot perfect all his actions, dream not of all-time perfect condition.”
