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.
