Thought for the day

[noirua]

No dream is too big. No challenge is too great. Nothing we want for our future is beyond our reach.


Donald Trump

"Very funny", he said. "As in 'Laughing kit bags' whilst 'Hanging out the washing...'."

“If a problem is fixable, if a situation is such that you can do something about it, then there is no need to worry. If it's not fixable, then there is no help in worrying. There is no benefit in worrying whatsoever.”

Chances in life are few. The white stallion arrives

"jump onboard" - the stallion returns day after day to give you a chance of higher risk and a new life. One day it does not return, never to appear again.

Life is full of swings and roundabouts. However, life can not be all swings and no roundabouts.

Telling your child ‘A good thought of the day’ in the morning, every day, can ensure that he/she does not start the day on the wrong foot. It is also a proven motivating tool for kids. You can even put up a board in your child’s room, and change it every morning to reflect the mood and the thought for your child to think about during the day.

Is this the strangest war memorial. Memorial for World War 1 in Alton , Hampshire, England.

A large number of people died in World War 1 compared to World War 2. This was because Generals in the first war thought that people from the same area would work well together. It turned out in horrific battles that large numbers from a town died together.

This takes a bit more explaining than one sentence or even a couple of paragraphs. However IMV it is well worth investing the time to read and consider the message.

Let me finish: how to stop interrupting… and change the world
We are all guilty of interrupting – but if we all just stopped and listened, argues Nancy Kline, we could radically change the way we live…

I won’t interrupt you. I promise. I won’t interrupt your words – or your thoughts.

Imagine it. Imagine the relief, the possibilities, the dignity. You now have ground that is yours. Unassailably. This is for you. Time to think. To feel. To figure out what you really want to say. To say it, to consider it. To change it. To finish your sentences, to choose your own words. To become – because you can trust the promise – a bit bold, even eloquent. To become you.

And because you know I will not interrupt you, you will want, when you finish, to know what I think, too, even if we disagree deeply. You open your heart. And because you in turn promise not to interrupt me, I open mine.

The only things I want are 'out of stock' and you can not get any more. I'm very resentful to you saying that I must have spent a lot of time trying to locate them in our store. You just have a useless pathetic department backed up by individuals who like to have 'out of stock' items so you can sit on your rear ends twiddling your thumbs.

Jump on board the merry old train called 'Punter'. Make sure you do early on in the runup. Do it late and you may fall and do yourself a mischief. As it gathers speed watch for the early signs of a marked slowdown and alight swiftly. Leave it late as it reverses at higher and higher speed and financial damage will be hard to repair. However, battle on sword in hand and shield at the ready, trade upon trade and gallantly recover all losses.
