something to think about

"You can live on bland food so as to avoid an ulcer, drink no tea, coffee or other stimulants in the name of health, go to bed early, stay away from night life, avoid all controversial subjects so as never to give offense, mind your own business, avoid involvement in other peoples problems, spend money only on necessities and save all you can. You can still break your neck in the bath tub, and it will serve you right!"

I took this quote out of the book: "If you want to walk on water, you have to get out of the boat"

here is some regarding failure:
"Failure is not an event, but rather a JUDGMENT about an event"
" Failure does not shape you, the way you respond to failure shapes you"

There is so much in that book ... i can go on and on... but ok, i will stop with this last one:

"Never try to have more FAITH - just get to know God better. And because God is FAITHFUL, the better you know HIM, the more you'll trust HIM."
