A Principals advice to Graduates, but valid to all
Maturity is acting your age instead of your urge.
A positive thinker does not refuse to recognize the negative he refuses to dwell on it.
Sometimes the majority only means that all the fools are on the same side.
If you don’t know what you want, you end up with a lot of what you don’t.
It is quite possible to work without results, but never will there be results without work.
Where wisdom is called for, force is of little use.
Remember what’s right isn’t always popular, and what’s popular isn’t always right.
Initiative is doing the right thing without being told to do it.
Never trade your conscience for consensus.
A person can succeed at anything for which there is enthusiasm.
Give a person a fish and you feed them for a day; teach that person to use the internet and they won’t bother you for weeks.
There’s a difference between a philosophy and a bumper sticker.
It is our choices that show what we truly are, far more than our abilities.
The tragedy in life doesn’t lie in not reaching your goals. The tragedy lies in having no goals to reach.
To get anywhere, you have to do something.
Avoidance is not a strategy.
Never eat anything whose listed ingredients cover more than one-third of the package.
Disappointments should be cremated not embalmed.
You can never discover a new ocean unless you lose sight of the shore.
There’s no sense in being pessimistic. It won’t work anyway.
It always takes less time to do it right than it does to do it over.
If you can imagine it, you can achieve it; if you can dream it, you can become it.
If you lend someone $20 and never see that person again it was probably worth it.
Live your life so that when people think of fairness, caring and integrity…they think of you.
Anyone who has never made a mistake has never tried anything new. Albert Einstein.
The pessimist see difficulty in every opportunity. The optimist see opportunity in every difficulty.
Your day goes, the way the corners of your mouth turn.
Nothing in the world can take the place of persistence. Talent will not, nothing more common than unsuccessful men with talent. Genius will not; unrewarded genius is almost a proverb. Education will not; the world is full of educated derelicts. Persistence and determination alone are omnipotent. Calvin Coolidge
You can judge the character of a person by the way he/she treats those who can do nothing for them.
All it takes for evil to prevail is for good people to do nothing.
Do not follow where the path may lead. Go instead where there is no path and leave a trail.
What lies behind you and what lies before you are small matters compared to what lies within you.
Be the change you want to see in the world.
This is not the end, this is not the beginning of the end, this is the end of the beginning. Winston Churchill. Author Unknown
A Warning Below:
A
couple lost their 25 year old son in a fire at home on June 4th. The
son who had graduated with MBA from the University of Wisconsin-Madison
two weeks earlier had come home for a while. He had lunch with his dad
at home and decided to go back to clean up his hostel room. His father
told him to wait, to meet his mother, before he went back for a few
days. He decided to take a nap while waiting for
his mom to come back home from work. Some time later their neighbors
called 911 when they saw black smoke coming out of the house.
Unfortunately, the 25 years old died in the three year old house. It took several days of investigation to find out the cause of the fire. It was determined that the fire was caused by the laptop resting on the bed. When the laptop was on the bed cooling fan did not get the air to cool the computer and that is what caused the fire. He did not even wake up to get out of the bed because he died of breathing in carbon monoxide.
The reason I am writing this to all of you is that I have seen many of us and also our sons & daughters using the laptop while in bed. Let us all decide and make it a practice not to do that. The risk is real. Let us make it a rule not to use the laptop on bed with blankets and pillows around. Please educate as many people as you can.
