(page 2)
Did I offer peace today? Did I bring a smile to someone's face? Did I say words of healing? Did I let go of my anger and resentment? Did I forgive? Did I love? These are the real questions.

Pause today and notice something you have worked hard on and recognize yourself for it. Acknowledge your effort.
Can you imagine being Leonardo Da Vinci in the 1400s trying to describe his ideas for machines that would allow humans to fly to the average person of his time? This is hundreds of years before the invention of electricity, the internal combustion engine, and many other things we take for granted today.
You cannot escape the responsibility of tomorrow by evading it today.
Education is the passport to the future, for tomorrow belongs to those who prepare for it today.
The future belongs to those who prepare for it today.

Never give up. Today is hard, tomorrow will be worse, but the day after tomorrow will be sunshine.
The only limit to our realization of tomorrow will be our doubts of today.
