Mail to: eagibbs@ureach.comWouldn't it be great to be reminded of a small but potent equation every morning while getting ready for day? Well, here is a formula I came across years ago: A = X + Y + Z. "If A equals success, then formula is A equals X plus Y plus Z, with X being work; Y, play; and Z, keeping your mouth shut." Here, then, are three factors of success: work, play, and silence. There are many other factors we might add, but it is safe to say that people set goals towards which they direct their work. Play and leisure time are as important to success as work is. If we reach our goals without having learned how to play and enjoy life, what good are acquired goals?

When was last time to put these rights to work for you? When was last time you came out of a confrontation on winning side because you knew your rights and were confident in stating them? Well, ponder these questions no more! Here for you to utilize and maintain is a listing of 18 of your God-given rights. Make copies of them and post them in prominent places at home and at work where you can easily see them. Because I am a Creature of my God, I have inherited rights that no one can take away from me. Because of my God's goodness and mercy, I love myself as I love others. Therefore, I can proudly say: I have right to enjoy myself. I have right to change my mind.
