Imagine life is a game in which you are juggling
five balls.The balls are called work, family,
health, friends and integrity. And youre
keeping all of them in the air. But one day, you
finally come to understand that work is a rubber
ball. If you drop it, it will bounce back. The
other four balls - family, health, friends, and
integrity are made of glass. If you drop one
of these, it will be irrevocably scuffed,
nicked, perhaps even shattered. And once you
truly understand the lesson of the five balls,
you will have the beginnings of balance in your
life.
James Patterson, Suzanne's Diary for Nicholas

To me, there are three things we all should do
every day. We should do this every day of our
lives. Number one is laugh. You should laugh
every day. Number two is think. You should spend
some time in thought. And number three is, you
should have your emotions moved to tears, could
be happiness or joy. But think about it. If you
laugh, you think, and you cry, that's a full
day. That's a heck of a day. You do that seven
days a week, youre going to have something
special.

endure the betrayal of false friends. To
appreciate beauty to find the best in others to

child, a garden patch, or a redeemed social
condition to know that even one life has
breathed easier because you have lived. This is
to have succeeded.
