Hello my Friend,

I thought we would do something a little different today.

This is a poem that has inspired me on many occasions and continues to do so Today.

There will be no sales or ads at end of this letter. This is for you.

I would prefer you just enjoy message and maybe relax a little from this hectic internet world…

The Face In The Glass

When you get what you want in your struggle for self And world makes you king for a day, Just go to a mirror and look at yourself And see what THAT face has to say.

For it isn't your father or mother or spouse Whose judgment upon you must pass; The person whose verdict counts most in your life Is one staring back from glass.

Some people might think you are a straight-shootin' chum And call you a wonderful guy or gal, But face in glass says you're only a bum If you can't look it straight in eye. That's one you must please, never mind all rest, For that's one with you clear up to end. And you know you have passed your most dangerous test If face in glass is your friend. You may fool whole world down pathway of life And get pats on your back as you pass, But your final reward will be heartache and tears If you've cheated face in glass.

Dear friend,

Well, for me, this poem has proven that being true to oneself is real Key to Joy and Happiness.

I would like to tell you how this poem has affected my life and perhaps can do same for yours.

I found this Poem several years ago and after reading through it, I realized a couple of things.

1. Attend or teach classes. Most junior colleges offer 1 to 4 week courses that are reasonable in cost and don’t use a lot of your time. You can learn by being a student or becoming leader of group (get paid for your expertise). Either way, you win.

2. Join a community group that caters to your interests. You'll gain more knowledge, meet new people, and probably influence others. You might want to try a group where you don’t know that much about topic or focus; challenges are good for you.

3. Work with local youth through a school or social groups. Be a teacher’s aide, a speaker for a particular cause that’s close to your heart, or a mentor. Mingling with younger people will help you understand them better and vice versa, especially at sporting events, fund-raisers, or groups like Scouts or 4-H.

4. Listen to different music. I am fortunate for having been exposed to a variety of musical styles so I appreciate many types. Don’t get stuck in one category - world is alive with sounds and words. Give more of them a chance to enhance your life.
