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。
