Never bend your head. Always hold it high. Look the world straight in the eye.
The magic in new beginnings is truly the most powerful of them all.
You can get excited about the future. The past won’t mind.
Your present circumstances don’t determine where you can go. They merely determine where you start.
“No matter how hard the past, you can always begin again.”
Believe you can and you're halfway there.
The bad news is time flies. The good news is you’re the pilot.

Help others in need, we get the rewards of our helpful acts
One afternoon a fox was walking through the forest and spotted a bunch
of grapes hanging from over a lofty branch.
“Just the
thing to quench my thirst,” he thought.
Taking a few steps back, the fox jumped and just missed the hanging
grapes. Again the fox took a few paces back and tried to reach them but still
failed.
Finally, giving up, the fox turned up
his nose and said, “They’re
probably sour anyway,” and proceeded to walk away.
Moral of the story:
It’s easy to despise what you can’t have.
A slave, ill-treated by his master, runs away to the forest. There he comes across a lion in pain because of a thorn in his paw. The slave bravely goes forward and removes the thorn gently.
The lion without hurting him goes away.
Some days later, the slave’s master comes hunting to the forest and catches many animals and cages them. The slave is spotted by the masters’ men who catch him and bring him to the cruel master.
The master asks for the slave to be thrown into the lion’s cage.
The slave is awaiting his death in the cage when he realizes that it is the same lion that he had helped. The slave rescued the lion and all other caged animals.
Moral of the story:
One should help others in need, we get the rewards of our helpful acts in return.
Puppies for Sale
A shop owner placed a
sign above his door that said: “Puppies For Sale.”
Signs like this always have a way of
attracting young children, and to no surprise, a boy saw the sign and
approached the owner;
“How much are you going to sell the puppies for?” he asked.The store owner
replied, “Anywhere from $30 to $50.”The little boy pulled out some change from
his pocket. “I have $2.37,” he said. “Can I please look at them?”
The shop owner smiled and whistled. Out of the kennel came Lady, who ran
down the aisle of his shop followed by five teeny, tiny balls of fur.
One puppy was lagging considerably behind. Immediately the little boy
singled out the lagging, limping puppy and said, “What’s wrong with that little
dog?”
The shop owner explained that the veterinarian had examined the little
puppy and had discovered it didn’t have a hip socket. It would always limp. It
would always be lame.
The
little boy became excited. “That is the puppy that I want to buy.”
The shop owner said, “No, you don’t want to buy that little dog. If you
really want him, I’ll just give him to you.”
The little boy got quite upset. He looked straight into the store
owner’s eyes, pointing his finger, and said;
“I don’t want you to give him to me. That little
dog is worth every bit as much as all the other dogs and I’ll pay full price.
In fact, I’ll give you $2.37 now, and 50 cents a month until I have him paid
for.”
The shop owner countered, “You really don’t want to buy this
little dog. He is never going to be able to run and jump and play with you like
the other puppies.”
To his surprise, the little boy reached down and rolled up his pant leg
to reveal a badly twisted, crippled left leg supported by a big metal brace. He
looked up at the shop owner and softly replied, “Well, I don’t run so well
myself, and the little puppy will need someone who understands!”
