Last December, I vowed to make Christmas a calm and peaceful experience. I had cut back on nonessential obligations – extensive card writing, endless baking, decorating, and even overspending.

The carpenter I hired to help me restore an old farmhouse had just finished a rough first day on the job. A flat tire made him lose an hour of work, his electric saw quit, and now his ancient pickup truck refused to start.

One day, a poor boy who was selling goods from door to door to pay his way through school, found he had only one thin dime left,
and he was hungry. He decided he would ask for a meal at the next house. However, he lost his nerve when a lovely young woman opened the door.

The longer I live, the more I realize the impact of attitude on life. Attitude to me, is more important than facts.
It is more important than past, than education, than money, than circumstances, than failures,
than successes, than what other people think or say or do.

Nothing in this world can take the place of persistence.
Talent will not; nothing is more common than
unsuccessful people with talent.

Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate.
Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure.
It is our light, not our darkness that most frightens us.
We ask ourselves, Who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, fabulous?

Life is like a book with many different chapters.
Some tell of tragedy, others of triumph. Some chapters are dull and ordinary,
others intense and exciting.
