If If you can keep your head when all about you Are losing theirs and blaming it on you. If you can trust yourself when all men doubt you, But make allowance for their doubting too; If you can wait and not be tired by waiting, Or being lied about, don’t deal in lies, Or being hated, don’t give way to hating, And   yet don’t look too good, nor too wise; If you can dream- and not make dreams your master; If you can think- and not make thoughts your aims; If you can meet with Triump and Disaster And treat these two impostors just the same; If you can bear to hear the truth you’ve spoken Twisted by knaves to make a trap for fools, Or watch the things you gave your life to, broken, And stoop and build’em up with worn-out tools: If you can make one heap of all your winnings And risk it on one turn of pitch-and toss, And lose, and start again at your beginnings And never breathe a word about your loss; If you can...

If you think you are beaten, you are. If you think you dare not, you don’t! If you like to win, but think you can’t, It’s almost a cinch you won’t. If you think you’ll lose, you’re lost; For out in the world we find Success begins with a fellow’s will; It’s all in the state of mind. If you think you are outclassed, you are, You’ve got to think high to rise, You’ve got to be sure of yourself before You can ever win a prize. Life’s battles don’t always go To the stronger and faster man, But sooner or later the man who wins Is the man who thinks he can. ---***--

  A businessman was returning home on horseback from the annual fair in a nearby city. He had quite a big sum of money with him. It was raining heavily and the poor man was wet to the skin. He was in a bad mood and grumbled that God had given him such terrible weather for his journey. He entered a thick forest. All of a sudden, to his horror, he found himself face to face with a bandit whose finger was already on the trigger of his gun. He would not have been saved from death, except for the fact that the rain had caused the powder to dampen and the gun was useless. The businessman spurred his horse and happily escaped the danger. When he was out of danger he said to himself: “How stupid I was to moan about the bad weather, instead of accepting it patiently as a gift of God. If there had been a clear sky and the air dry and limpid, I would now be lying in a ditch covered in blood and in vain would my children wait my arrival. The rain which I was ready ...

“ Believe in yourself! Have faith in your abilities! Without a humble but reasonable confidence in your own powers you cannot be successful or happy.”                                       ---Norman Vincent Peale Y ou’re born with your natural abilities. There is nobody in this world that has born without natural abilities. Everybody is born with his or her natural abilities. But it is very unfortunate that many of them failed to discover their natural abilities, and spend their entire lives in mediocrity and wandering. What are my natural abilities? Have you ever asked this question to yourself? If not, then ask yourself now. Ask this question to yourself until you wouldn’t know your natural abilities. Once you know your natural abilities, you’ll know how to proceed in your ...

Shila, a poor widow, every day before starting her work at the spin-wheel, said her morning prayers devoutly. One day she read the prayer which exhorted the work of mercy and she took it to heart. “My good Lord,” she exclaimed, “how can I do good to others? I have nothing but my spin-wheel which hardly earns me my daily bread. Winter is fast approaching and the cold here in my room freezes my fingers that I can hardly spin. I have not paid all my rent and I have to beg myself.” Still she thought there was surely something that she could do. She remembered then that a friend of hers was very sick in bed. “Today I will go and pay her a visit,” she said. “I can spin in her house and I shall certainly have a chance of giving her some comfort.” She took two apples from her cupboard- two apples that had been given to her- and went on her way. When her sick friend saw her, she was overcome with joy. “My dear Shila,” she said, “I have recently inh...
