Life is a matter of perspective,
either you complain because
roses have thorns…
or you rejoice because..
thorns have roses, it all depend
on how you look at it! it’s your will..

Falling down doesn’t make you a failure
but staying down does..
Always remember that no one is perfect
So when you fall down, bounce back higher..

The good you do today, people will often forget tomorrow. Do good anyway. If you are successful, you will win some false friends and some true enemies. Succeed anyway. If you are kind, people will accuse you selfish and having ulterior motives. Be kind anyway. What you spent years building, someone might destroy it overnight. Build anyway. Give the world the best that you have, it may never be enough. Give the world the best that you have anyway. If you find serenity and happiness, they may be jealous. Be happy anyway. 

You see, in the final analysis, it is between you and God, it is never be you and them anyway. (Beajoy)

UN conducted a survey on: “Would you please give your honest opinion about the shortage of food in the rest of the world?” The survey failed because: In Africa, the people did not know what “food” was. In China, they did not know what “opinion” was. In Europe, they did not know what “shortage” was. Filipino leaders interviewed didn’t know what “honest’ meant. France didn’t know what “please” was. In America they didn’t know what “the rest of the world” meant. (compiled by Bea Joy)

“Coffee has evolved in years with cream, iced coffee, coffee with choco chips or cookies. But no matter how people try to innovate coffee varieties, it still does not lose its distinct aroma…just like us…no matter how we clothe ourselves with different personalities, still, our character remains. People may destroy your image, stain your personality, but they can’t take away your distinct character. Live…exist…let your character diffuse its distinct aroma.” (Compiled by Bea Joy)

“Glamour sent greatness, applause sent fame. A stone may sparkle but that doesn’t make it a diamond. people may have money, but that doesn’t make them a success. It is the seemingly unimportant people who determine the course of history. The greatest forces in the universe are never spectacular. Summer showers do more good than hurricanes but they don’t get much of publicity. The world would soon die but for the loyalty of those whose names are unhonored or unsung, if you think you are nothing, always remember that you are fearfully and wonderfully made by God.” (Compiled by Bea Joy)

“Life is not about waiting for the storm to pass. It is learning to dance in the rain. It is singing in the car when you don’t even know all the words. It is giving your whole heart to someone even if you are a little scared. It is about taking risks and making life worth living because every minute you waste is a minute you can never get back.” (Compiled by Bea Joy)

“Respect is not somehing we can easily obtain from others. Much like trust, it has to be earned and it is not just about acknowledging authority, either. It is about treating other people as equals, and not as human beings who deserve common courtesy and more. Understand that respect is a two-way thing: You can only get it if you give it. The more you show respect to others, the more they see you as someone worthy of respect as well.” (Compiled by Bea Joy)

“Your heart has to be in what you are doing or else you will become a slave of yourself, no matter how great is your wealth or how scarce is your income if you can’t love your work you will never achieve fulfillment, you will be like a soul wandering where you could rest eternally” – (Twila- OFW Guide)

“You should only enter marriage when you are already a complete person, and not just to fill up the empty parts” – (igraine)
