The Twelve Commandments of Life #2.......

"Make the best of your circumstances. No one has everything, and everyone has something of sorrow intermingled with gladness of life. The trick is to make the laughter outweigh the tears."

........everyone has something of sorrow intermingled with gladness of life............

How true this is. If you take the time to sit down and have a heart to heart talk with any close friend or relative, you will find that beneath the surface, everyone has some problems, of health, finances, relationships etc. It is how each person choose to deal with the problem that differentiates between those who are happy and those who are not.

Those who are happy has chosen to be happy. They have learned the trick to make the laugher outweigh the tears.

This blog has been idle for a while. Whatever happened to my a quote a day? I am the master of procrastination. Anyway, I've got to revive the blog because it is receiving a lot of spam. Funny how spammers will reach out or find my blog easily when it is idle.

I'm not going to let the spammers make me feel frustrated... because I can choose my reactions.

I received a power point presentation on email the other day. It has nice quotes. It is about The Twelve Commandments of Life by Robert Louis Stevenson (1850 – 1894).

I shall break up the commandments into separate posts for each commandment or quote deserves some thought. Reading them all at once makes less impact. However, finally in summary, I shall put them all together.

Here is the first one.

"Make up your mind to be happy. Learn to find the pleasure in simple things."

We can easily learn to do this by observing the children around us. They certainly know how to find pleasure in simple things don't you agree?
