A smile that is insincere is a turn off. Saying, "have a nice

Day," without meaning, does not go unnoticed. Apologies

With little depth won't be accepted by those you have hurt

Or deceived.

We all have feelings, as well as the need to expres them.

An awareness of how your feelings affect what you say is

Important. It's okay to be frustrated or mad. And, it's

Perfectly normal and acceptable to express emotions. Just

Remember to be aware of how your frank expressions or

True feelings may make someone else feel.

Such consideration for others encourages consideration for

You.

SURROUND YOURSELF WITH ENCOURAGERSSimeon Ford, the proprietor of the old Grand Union Hotel in New York,Said, "You don't need to know anything about a hotel to run one. YouJust open up and the customers tell you how to run it."That must be true of other businesses, too. I heard of a newspaperEditor who called in her assistant and handed him a stack of papers."These are suggestions sent in by subscribers on how to run our paper.Make sure you carry them out," she said.He did. He carried them out and dropped them in the trash bin.Many people are quick to suggest, and quicker to criticize. When askedWhy she was always so critical, one woman said, "I guess I just have aKnack for seeing other people's faults!" (There's a gift she couldHide under a bushel.)Criticizers are not hard to find. What the world needs are goodEncouragers. Not more people to find fault, but people to point outStrengths and encourage us to excel. The most successful people lookFor positive qualities. They see potential where others see failure.And they encourage success in others.Mark Twain put it like this: "Keep away from people who try toBelittle your ambitions. Small people always do that, but the reallyGreat make you feel that you too, can become great."Who do you spend time with? Criticizers or encouragers? SurroundYourself with those who believe in you. Your life is too important forAnything less.Steve Goodier

Out there beyond what you know you can do, a pleasant surprise awaits. Out beyond your comfort zone, there is a precious treasure waiting to be mined. Almost every skill you now possess was once beyond your abilities. Every place where you now feel comfortable and at home, was once unknown to you. There are more things that you can do, higher levels that you can reach. Though they seem a little intimidating from where you are now, they can soon be comfortable and familiar. Push yourself a little bit beyond what you know you can do. And you'll discover something truly empowering. You'll discover that you can indeed step forward into unknown territory, and you'll uncover valuable treasures you never knew you were missing. Your levels of confidence and competence will grow beyond anything you could have previously imagined. Push yourself a little bit beyond where you are now. And you'll be pleasantly surprised with where it takes you. Ralph Marston
