for You |
"Total
self-esteem requires total and unconditional
acceptance of yourself. You are a unique
and worthy individual, regardless of your
mistakes, defeats and failures, despite
what others may think, say or feel about
you or your behavior. If you truly accept
and love yourself, you won't have a driving
need for attention and approval. Self-esteem
is a genuine love of self. Stop all adverse
value judging of yourself. Stop accepting
the adverse value judgments of others.
Purge yourself of all condemnation, shame,
blame, guilt & remorse."

"The
man who does not work for the love of work
but only for money is not likely to make
money nor find much fun in life."
- Charles Schwab, American financial analyst |
"Every
morning you are handed 24 golden hours.
They are one of the few things in this world
that you get free of charge. If you had
all the money in the world, you couldn't
buy an extra hour. What will you do with
this priceless treasure? Remember, you must
use it, as it is given only once. Once wasted
you cannot get it back."
