THOUGHT OF THE DAY: Ralph Waldo Emerson, great American writer, poet, and thinker, tells us: Thoughts are things. A hundred years later Science now tells us that our thoughts really do create changes in the human body, and psychologist tell us that our thinking affects our emotions and our moods. So the question of the day comes from a man from India, a Yogi by the name of Paramahansa Yogananda. In you which is stronger -success thoughts or failure thoughts? What’s your answer? Lets do our best to create a successful day by focusing on successful and positive thoughts.
Ever noticed that the hardest thing about a school project is getting started? Two thousand, five hundred years ago, Lao-tzu (la OUT zu) ancient Chinese master, said: A journey of a thousand miles must begin with a single step. Five hundred years later, Horace, a Latin poet, said it this way: He who has begun has half done. Dare to be wise; begin! Great minds think alike! So remember, if you are having a difficult time starting a project- at school or at home- the first step is usually the hardest. Just do it!
