Thought of the day

Productivity is never an accident. It is always the result of a commitment to excellence, intelligent planning and focussed effort.

It takes the same amount of energy to beleive as it does to worry

Everybody worries to some extent, yet very few of us are aware of how much we worry, or, even worse, how much our worry effects our happiness. Yet the effect can be devastating. Worry can sap personal happiness greatly, indeed, it may be the single, most common happiness-robber there is. That is why I have always referred to worry as "the Arch-Enemy of Happiness"

Quoted from here ......STOP WORRYING

Impossibilities

"If you believe in what you are doing, then let nothing hold you up in your work. Much of the best work of the world has been done against seeming impossibilities. The thing is to get the work done. " - Dale Carnegie

Trust in the Lord

Trust in the Lord with all of your heart,
Lean not on your own understanding,
In all your ways acknowledge him and he will direct your path.

Proverb 3:5 & 3:6

In the end it is not the years in your life that count but the life in your years.

Abraham Lincoln

Teach him to fish?

Give a man a fish, he eats for a day. Teach him to fish, he eats for a lifetime

The quote above seems innocent enough and warms the heart. However it's been quite a while since Confucius wrote this but our realities have changed, especially in third world countries. So is it time to rethink and recoin this saying ? .....

Give a man a fish, he eats for a day. Teach him to fish and he becomes an active member of the army creating the imbalance that will eventually destroy an entire ecosystem.

We see this with the dwindling fish stocks in Lake Victoria, dessimation of water catchments ares like the Mau forest and the subsequent drying up of lakes accross Kenya. This points to the need for us to shift the focus from teaching man how to fish and instead teach him to be sustain the earth so that it can in turn sustain him.
