* Train yourself to finish what you start. So many of us become scattered as we try to accomplish a task. Finish one task before you begin another.

* Live fully in present moment. When you live in past or future you aren't able to make things happen in present.

* Commit yourself to joy. C.S. Lewis once said, " Joy is serious business of heaven."

* Never quit when you experience a setback or frustration. Success could be just around corner.

* Dare to dream big dreams. If there is anything to law of expectation then we are moving in direction of our dreams, goals and expectations.

The real tragedy in life is not in how much we suffer, but rather in how much we miss, so don't miss a thing.

Charles Dubois once said, " We must be prepared, at any moment, to sacrifice who we are for who we are capable of becoming."

What a revolting development!

Well, on "should not go" side, he realized he might get sea sick. He knew boat was small and might get into a storm and break up. He knew pirates were lying in wait for travelers. He knew if they captured him, they would take his possessions and sell him into slavery.

All his logic and reason was yelling, don't go. But he did. Why? Well, maybe he was more afraid of his wife than pirates. :>) Don't you ladies get mad at me now, I'm kidding. I don't know. Stupidity? Nah… he was an educated professor. Well why then? Well, here it is, a true revelation, It was because he wanted to.

Yeah, because he wanted to.

Everyone should try to keep his emotions and logic in harmonious balance. You should never allow one to ever get controlling hand.

So, sometimes it is good to do what you feel like doing. And, other times follow your logic and reason. History says he had a successful trip and made it back home to his wife. :>) Although rumor has it, that he got syphilis, I bet he wished pirates had got him. Ha!

Then there was this old guy named Socrates. He went down in history as a pretty good thinker. Yet, he was plagued with stinking thinking too.

He fell in love with a "reeeeeal" hot number. She was sooo….beautiful. And Socrates was as ugly as a pig. He he.. But, he was very persuasive. Persuasive people seem to have ability to get what they want.

And, he got her. They married and that's when his emotions (what he wanted) turned out to be his biggest problem. After honeymoon, she began to see his faults.

He was very selfish and egotistical. So, she started nagging him. And, he always tried to prove her wrong. .

If he had used that same persuasion to understand his wife, instead of always trying to prove her wrong, he would have prevented his stinking thinking from getting controlling hand and dashing his hopes for future.

Socrates would tell his friends, that he tolerated his wife's nagging to teach himself self-discipline. Puke!! because his very actions disproved his words.

Just so all guys won't be mad at me; his wife was not perfect either. The biggest fault of both Socrates and his wife was, each only wanted to see toothpick in other's eye and completely ignore 2 X 4 in their own eye.

So, think about that and go home and kiss your spouse. :>)
