Wise Words for Today

Choose to be an optimist, and you will so live that when you die you’ll leave behind a life far more inspiring than that of any pessimist. I’d rather be an optimist who overestimated his success than a pessimist who fulfilled his gloomy prediction.

Wise Words for Today

Habits are one of the critical components in the life of every person alive today. The problem is that habits can be good or bad, constructive or destructive, positive or negative, encouraging or discouraging. If you are going to live a “better than good” life, you must build as many positive habits into your life as possible. Think of your life as one of those giant cables on the George Washington Bridge and every individual wire as a habit. The more positive habits you bundle together, the stronger your life becomes – the more traffic it can bear, the more storms it can withstand, and the more service it can provide to others.
