I'm One Of The Most Fortunate People

Early In Life, I Decided That I Would Not Be Overcome By Events. My Philosophy Has Been That Regardless Of The Circumstances, I Shall Not Be Vanquished, But Will Try To Be Happy. Life Is Not Easy For Any Of Us. But It Is A Continual Challenge, And It Is Up To Us To Be Cheerful - And To Be Strong, So That Those Who Depend On Us May Draw Strength From Our Example.

Sedentary People Are Apt To Have Sluggish Minds. A Sluggish Mind Is Apt To Be Reflected In Flabbiness Of Body And In A Dullness Of Expression That Invites No Interest And Gets None.

The Most Important Element In Human Life Is Faith; If God Were To Take Away All His Blessings-health, Physical Fitness, Wealth, Intelligence-and Leave Me With But One Gift I Would Ask Him For Faith. For With Faith In Him And His Goodness, Mercy And Love For Me, And Belief In Everlasting Life, I Believe I Could Suffer The Loss Of All My Other Gifts And Still Be Happy.

When I Think Of My Past, I Try To Dwell On The Good Times, The Happy Moments, And Not To Be Haunted By The Bad. . . To Me The Gift Of Life Is Contained In The Command, Whatever Happens: "don't Let It Get You. Just Keep On Going." Thus, I Try To Think Of The Good That I Have Already Experienced And What Will Still Be Coming.

Make Sure You Never, Never Argue At Night. You Just Lose A Good Night's Sleep, And You Can't Settle Anything Until Morning Anyway.
