O maior conquistador não é aquele que conquista grandes coisas, mas sim o que conquista as pequenas e as torna grandes!

Let’s all be masters of our mouths, so that we won’t be slaves of our words.
Once an old man spread
rumours that his neighbour was a thief. As a result, the young man was
arrested. Days later the young man was proven innocent. After being released he
sued the old man for wrongly accusing him.
In the court the old man told the Judge: “They were just comments, didn’t harm
anyone.” The judge told the old man: “Write all the things you said about him
on a piece of paper. Cut them up and on the way home, throw the pieces of paper
out. Tomorrow, come back to hear the sentence.”
Next day, the judge told
the old man: “Before receiving the sentence, you will have to go out and gather
all the pieces of paper that you threw out yesterday.”
The old man said: “I can’t
do that! The wind spread them and I won’t know where to find them.”
The judge then replied: “The
same way, simple comments may destroy the honour of a man to such an extent
that one is not able to fix it. If you can’t speak well of someone, rather
don’t say anything.”
Moral Of The Story: Let’s
all be masters of our mouths, so that we won’t be slaves of our words.

Here's a dozen of my favorite things never to apologize for:
1) Never apologize for acting on your instincts.
2) Never apologize for being passionate.
3) Never apologize for being smart.
4) Never apologize for demanding respect.
5) Never apologize for saying no.
6) Never apologize for not embracing someone else's agenda.
7) Never apologize for disagreeing.
8) Never apologize for your faith.
9) Never apologize for your own sense of creativity.
10) Never apologize for ordering dessert.
11) Never apologize for being funny.
12) Never apologize for living your truth.
Every one of us casts a shadow.
There hangs about us, a sort of a strange, indefinable something, which we call personal influence--that has its effect on every other life on which it falls. It goes with us wherever we go. It is not something we can have when we want to have it--and then lay aside when we will, as we lay aside a garment. It is something that always pours out from our lives . . . as light from a lamp, as heat from flame, as perfume from a flower.
The ministry of personal influence is something very wonderful. Without being conscious of it, we are always impressing others by this strange power that exudes from us. Others watch us--and their thinking and actions are modified by our influence."
"Be very careful, then, how you live--not as unwise but as wise, making the most of every opportunity." Ephesians 5:15-16
~J. R. Miller, "The Shadows We Cast"
