Thoughts for the day
Wishes will not lead you to the things that you would possess.
Wishes will not bring to you the prizes of success.
But work and faith will get you where you want to be.
Effort and determination spell properity.
*****************
Make an adventure of all that you do,
Do it with humour and Zest,
Looking at life from the broad point of view,
Giving your utmost and best.
