DON'T BE AFRAID TO FAIL

Don't Be Afraid To Fail -

---You’ve failed many times, even though you may not remember. You fell, the first time you tried to walk. You couldn’t swim the first time you tried to swim. Did you hit the ball, the first time you swung the bat?

---Heavy hitters, the ones who hit the most home runs, also strikeout a lot. Babe Ruth hit 714 homers, also had 1330 strikeouts. R. H. Macy had seven failures before his New York store caught on. Novelist, John Creasey, got 753 rejection slips before he published 564 books.

---The message is – don’t worry about failure. You're going to FAIL, sometimes. It's natural. If you're going to worry, worry about not trying.

---Some famous names you all have heard. It goes to show that everyone seems to have their share of defeats. Don't lose interest in life. As it says ''risk=living.''

WISH FOR 2011 - ATTITUDE UPGRADE

My Wish for 2011

I Hope We All Learn
Not To Save Face As Much
There Is Really No Need
That Is Why
There's So Much Hypocrisy
In The World

People Are Worried About
Looking Good
Instead Of Telling The Truth

I Think This Is Our
Basic Problem
And It Runs The Course
Of Human Existence

We'd Be Our True Selves
A Whole Lot Sooner
If We Weren't Worried About This

As far as I Can Tell
Most Of Us Save Face
And It NEVER Has Good Results

The Less Saving Face
In The NEW YEAR
It Seems To Me
The Better Off We'll Be
