Attitude is a little thing that makes a big difference.

Winston Churchill

Winston Churchill: If You Can

“If you can start your day without caffeine,

If you can always be cheerful and ignore aches and pains,

If you can resist the claims and not bore people with your problems,

if you can eat the same food every day and be thankful for it,

if you can understand a loved one, even when they have no time for you,

if you can skip past the ears of the allegations made by a loved one, even when everything goes wrong is not your fault,

if you can safely take criticism,

if you can relate to my poor friend as well as the rich,

if you can do without lies and deceit,

If you can deal with stress without medication,

If you can relax without liquor,

If you can sleep without pills,

If you can honestly say that you have no prejudice against color, religion, sexual orientation or policy
means that you have reached the level of your dog.”

I've met the enemy, and it is me.

Benjamin Franklin

How to get rid of Bad Habits and build Good Habits

* * *

① Temperance. Eat not to dullness; drink not to elevation.

② Silence. Speak not but what may benefit others or yourself; avoid trifling conversation.

③ Order. Let all your things have their places; let each part of your business have its time.

④ Resolution. Resolve to perform what you ought; perform without fail what you resolve.

⑤ Frugality. Make no expense but to do good to others or yourself; i.e., waste nothing.

⑥ Industry. Lose no time; be always employed in something useful; cut off all unnecessary actions.

⑦ Sincerity. Use no hurtful deceit; think innocently and justly, and, if you speak, speak accordingly.

⑧ Justice. Wrong none by doing injuries, or omitting the benefits that are your duty.

⑨ Moderation. Avoid extremes; forbear resenting injuries so much as you think they deserve.

⑩ Cleanliness. Tolerate no uncleanliness in body, cloaths, or habitation.

⑪ Tranquility. Be not disturbed at trifles, or at accidents common or unavoidable.

⑫ Chastity. Rarely use venery but for health or offspring, never to dullness, weakness, or the injury of your own or another's peace or reputation.

⑬ Humility. Imitate Jesus and Socrates.

Keep learning forward. If you strop learning, you stop creating history and become history.
