MUSINGS III

MUSINGS: I have learned that you don't have to fight everybody. It distracts you, frustrates you and can delay your forward march. If you slap a pig, your hands will get dirty.

MUSINGS: I have learned that you don't have to answer every accusation, explain every action or reply every question. You are not on trial.

MUSINGS:I have learned that being quiet doesn't always mean you have nothing to say. There is a time that silence is your greatest weapon. Detractors will not know what is on your mind.

MUSINGS: I have learned that your good deeds are never lost. It may take a while, but like a suitcase on a luggage carousel, they will return to you eventually.

MUSINGS: I have learned that you should never judge a person unless you have talked to them one on one or walked in their shoes for a while.

MUSINGS: I have learned that, to speak up for somebody is actually to speak up for yourself. A prominent German leader said, "...they came first for the Communists, and I didn't speak up because I was not a Communist. Then they came for the Jews, and I didn't speak up because I was not a Jew...Then they came for the Catholics and I didn't speak up because I was a Protestant. Then they came for me, and by that time no was was left to speak up for me."

MUSINGS: I have learned that the best present you can give a hurting friend is not your words but your presence.

MUSINGS: I have learned that life can be hard, but it's harder when you don't walk in wisdom.

MUSINGS: I have learned that if you are in a relationship with someone who doesn't believe in you,you should get out before you stop believing in yourself.

MUSINGS I

I have learned that, you don't have to scream to be heard, you don't have to have an attitude to gain attention, you don't have to be sarcastic to look smart, you don't have to expose anybody to settle a score, you don't have to pull anybody down to go up and you don't have to give a name to everything you see. Class cannot be bought. Just musing.
