Life
is like making tea.
Boil your ego,
Evaporate your thoughts,
Dilute your sorrows,
Filter your mistakes
And
Get a taste of happiness.

afraid of the branch breaking, because her trust is not on the branch but on
its own wings. Always believe in
yourself - Unknown

Self-Improvement-123: SPEAK GENTLY by David Bates
Speak gently! -- It is better far
To rule by love, than fear --
Speak gently -- let not harsh words
mar
The good we might do here!
Speak gently! -- Love doth whisper
low
The vows that true hearts bind;
And gently Friendship's accents flow;
Affection's voice is kind.
Speak gently to the little child!
Its love be sure to gain;
Teach it in accents soft and mild: --
It may not long remain.
Speak gently to the young, for they
Will have enough to bear --
Pass through this life as best they
may,
'T is full of anxious care!
Speak gently to the aged one,
Grieve not the care-worn heart;
The sands of life are nearly run,
Let such in peace depart!
Speak gently, kindly, to the poor;
Let no harsh tone be heard;
They have enough they must endure,
Without an unkind word!
Speak gently to the erring -- know,
They may have toiled in vain;
Perchance unkindness made them so;
Oh, win them back again!
Speak gently! -- He who gave his life
To bend man's stubborn will,
When elements were in fierce strife,
Said to them, 'Peace, be still.'
Speak gently! -- 't is a little thing
Dropped in the heart's deep well;
The good, the joy, which it may
bring,
Eternity shall tell.
