I was watching CNN during the riots of Los Angeles a couple of years ago and they were showing video footage of a mob looting a radio shack. Running out of
the radio shack was hi-fis, video cameras and everything they could pick up. But the radio shack was right next to a Macintosh dealership which had
powerbooks in the window. And it was untouched. So here these incredible valuable portable very, very powerful computers was sitting untouched behind an
unbroken shop-window while the poor people steal Sony Walkmans. I felt that was so sad, and so indicative of our real problem.

ANYWAY

People are unreasonable, illogical, and self-centered.
Love them anyway.
If you do good, people may accuse you of selfish motives.
Do good anyway.
If you are successful, you may win false friends and true enemies.
Succeed anyway.
The good you do today may be forgotten tomorrow.
Do good anyway.
Honesty and transparency make you vulnerable.
Be honest and transparent anyway.
What you spend years building may be destroyed overnight.
Build anyway.
People who really want help may attack you if you help them.
Help them anyway.
Give the world the best you have and you may get hurt.
Give the world your best anyway.

Mother Teresa, Meditations from a Simple Path

A Guiding Light for the Year Ahead

As you go through the days of the year ahead,
busy with all the responsibilities the world has placed upon you,
remember to keep the truly special things in mind.
Keep things in perspective: Work, play, learning, living.
Have happiness as a part of your priorities!
Be creative and aware and wonderfully alive.
And always remember where to find your smile.
New journeys await you in the coming year.
Decisions lie ahead, wondering what you will do,
where you will go, how you will choose when the choices are yours.
Work for the ability to choose wisely, to prosper, to succeed.
Let the roads that you travel take you to beautiful places,
and have the faith it takes to achieve and aspire.
I hope your tomorrows take you to the summit
of your goals, and your joys take you even higher.
Douglas Pagels
