瓜

最小的是苦瓜，
比苦瓜大的是南瓜，
比南瓜大的是西瓜，
比西瓜大的是冬瓜，
比冬瓜大的是正在看我博克的大傻瓜。 (开玩笑罢了，不必当真。。)

Believe That You Can Do Anything and You Will

Imagine yourself to be the type of person you want to be, and then be it. You may have to let go of some bad habits and develop some more positive ones, but don’t give up – for it is only in trying and persisting that dreams come true.

Expect changes to occur, and realize that the power to make those changes comes from within you. Your thoughts and actions, the way you spend your time, your choices and decisions determine who you are and whom you will be.

You are capable and worthy of being and doing anything. You just need the discipline and determination to see it through. It won’t come instantly, and you may backslide from time to time, but don’t let that deter you. Never give up.

Life is an ever-change process, and nothing is final. Therefore, each moment and every new day is a chance to begin anew.

--- Barbara Cage

Integrity (3)

“Honesty is the cornerstone of all success, without which confidence and ability to perform shall cease to exist.”

(Mary Kay Ash)

“Honour is better than honours.”

(Abraham Lincoln)

“A ‘no’ uttered from the deepest conviction is better than a ‘yes’ merely uttered to please, or worse, to avoid trouble.”

(Mahatma Gandhi) Indian Philosopher

“I have found that being honest is the best technique I can use. Right up front, tell people what you’re trying to accomplish and what you’re willing to sacrifice to accomplish it.”

(Lee Iacocca) American Industrialist

“Integrity has no need of rules.”

(Albert Camus) French Novelist

Integrity (2)

When we have integrity, we are honest to ourselves and others and stand up for what is right. We are not afraid to admit that we have done something wrong. Having integrity is important because our actions affect ourselves and others.

It is important to practice integrity when we face a moral dilemma. We experience peace of mind because we know what we have done is right even what it not always easy to stand up for what is right.

A community that values integrity is likely to be a safer place since people do not approve of acts like stealing or cheating. Acting with integrity builds mutual trust among the members of a community.

Everybody plays a part in up holding integrity no matter how small the action might be. When we make it a habit to exercise moral courage to do the right thing, we strengthen our commitment to uphold integrity.

Integrity (1)

A person of integrity upholds ethical principles and has the moral courage to stand up for what is right.
“Integrity without knowledge is weak and useless, but knowledge without integrity is dangerous and dreadful.”

(Samuel Johnson) English Author

谦虚

一个成功者所知道的，除了勤奋，便是谦逊。
大河是安静的，有学问的人是谦虚的。
不懂装懂，永世饭桶。
最谦虚的人，是最有出息的人。
虚心使人进步，骄傲使人落后。
骄傲跌在门口，谦虚走遍天下。
满招损，谦受益。
自满是求知的拦路虎，自谦是智慧的引路人。
虚心的人总是学十当一，自满的人总是学一当十。
大声嚷嚷的河一定水少，大声嚷嚷的人一定浅薄。
有钱不可乱花，有功不可自夸。
好马不吃回头草，好汉不夸旧功劳。
接受表扬要地下头来，接受批评要抬起头来。
强中自有强中手，一山还有一山高。
山外有山，天外有天，人外有人。
顺逆都听，眼亮心明。不耻下问，多问不吃亏。
不专心不成事，不虚心不知事。
不要把善良看成愚蠢，不要把谦虚看成懦弱。

Responsibility (4)

"It is easy to dodge our responsibilities, but we cannot dodge the consequences of dodging our responsibilities."

(Josiah Charles Stamp) Economist

"You are responsible for your life, and your ultimate success depends on the choices you make."

(Denis Waitley)

"We are solely responsible for our choices, and we have to accept the consequences of every deed, world, and thought throughout our lifetime."

(Elizabeth Kubler-Ross) Psychiatrist and Author

"knowing is not enough; we must apply.
Willing is not enough; we must do."

(Johann Wolfgang Von Goethe) German philosopher and Writer

"Think of giving not as a duty but as a privilege."

(John D. Rockefeller, Jr.) American Philanthropist

Responsibility (3)

There was a most important job that needed to be done,
And no reason not to do it, there was absolutely none.
But in vital matters such as this, the thing you have to ask
Is who exactly will it be who’ll carry out the task?

Anybody could have told you that everybody knew
That this was something somebody would surely have to do.
Nobody was unwilling; anybody had the ability.
But nobody believed that it was their responsibility.

It seemed to be a job that anybody could have done,
If anybody thought he was supposed to be the one.
But since everybody recognized that anybody could,
Everybody took for granted that somebody would.

But nobody told anybody that we are aware of,
That he would be in charge of seeing it was taken care of.
And nobody took it on himself to follow through,
And do what everybody thought that somebody would do.

When what everybody needed so did not get done at all,
Everybody was complaining that somebody dropped the ball.
Anybody then could see it was an awful crying shame,
And everybody looked around for somebody to blame.

Somebody should have done the job
And Everybody should have,
But in the end Nobody did
What Anybody could have.


By: Charles Osgood

Responsibility (2)

When we are responsible, we do our part and we do it well.
We know what our duties are and we carry them out willingly.
We are dependable and trustworthy. People can count on us.

We are responsible in our actions because whatever we do will
have impact on ourselves and others. Sometimes, we may face
obstacles that may prevent us from being responsible. We need
to be aware of these obstacles and try our best to overcome them.

As responsible people, we take good care of ourselves and we choose
The right people as friends. We make responsible decisions by thinking
Carefully about our choices and how they will affect ourselves and others.
We take time for self-reflection and learn from our experiences in life.

Responsibility (1)

A person who is responsible recognizes that he has a duty to himself, his family, community, nation and the world, and fulfills his responsibilities with love and commitment.

“The price of greatness is responsibility.”

(Sir Winston Churchill)

A Positive Attitude Is the Key to Success

Before you say “I can’t,” Make sure you’ve already tried.
Before you let doubts stop you, confront them with facts.
Before reasons convince you it’s impossible, pursue the one reason that makes it possible.
Before failure enters your mind, hide success in your heart.
Before fear holds you back, go forward with faith.
Before problems interfere with your plans, use them to accomplish your goals.
Before you hold back because you think others are better, show them what a winner you are.
Before you settle for less, hold on to what is most important.
Before you believe there is no way, keep going and you’ll make one.
Before you give up, be at peace inside.
Before you dismiss your dreams, wait until they’ve come true.
Before you go looking for happiness, make your own where you are!

(Nancye Sims)

Confucius said: "A youth must be filial towards his parents and respectful to elders. To be filial towards one's parents and to respect one's elders is the root of bebevolence. He should love everyone but draw close only to those who demonstrate benevolence. Should he have energy to spare, let him spend it on reflecting on his work."

compel others to respect you."

aware of our weaknesses and faults, and try to overcome them.

ourbest, and preserve our dignitycand take pride in all that
we do.We do not allow others to take advantage of us.

We appreciate that everyone is unique, and treat them in the way
we would like to be treated ourselves - with dignity, empathy, and kindness.


"RESPECT YOURSELF AND OTHERS WILL RESPECT YOU."

Winners VS Lossers

When a winner makes a mistake, he says, 'I was wrong'.
When a loser makes a mistake, he says 'It wasn't my fault'.

A winner works harder than a loser and has more time;
A loser is always "too busy" to do what is necessary.

A winner goes through a problem;
A loser goes around it, and never gets pass it.

A winner makes commitments;
A loser makes promises.

A winner says, " i'm good, but not as good as i ought to be;"
A loser says, " i'm not as bad as a lot of other people."

A winner respects those who are superior to him
And tries to learn something from them;
A loser resents those who are superior to him
And tries to find chinks in their armour.

A winner feels responsible for more than his job;
A loser says " i only work here".

A winner says, " there ought to be a better way to do it;"
A loser says, " thats the way its always been done here".



THE CHOICE IS YOURS... MAKE THE RIGHT CHOICE TO BE A "WINNER"..
