They called it luck


He worked by day
and toiled by night.


He gave up play
and much delight.


Dry books he read,
new things to learn.


And forged ahead,
success to earn.


He plodded on,
with faith and pluck.


And when he won,
they called it luck.

DISCIPLINE

“Discipline is the refining fire by which talent becomes ability.” -Roy L. Smith

“It was character that got us out of bed, commitment that moved us into action, and discipline that enabled us to follow through.” -Zig Ziglar

"Discipline is the soul of an army. It makes small numbers formidable; procures success to the weak, and esteem to all.” -George Washington

T.H.I.N.K

Before you say anything ask yourself:

T – Is it true?

H – Is it helpful?

I – Is it inspiring?

N – Is it necessary?

K – Is it kind?

Apostle Paul wrote, "Finally, brothers, whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable – if anything is excellent or praiseworthy – think about such things." (Philippians 4:8)

Your words really matter to others and yourself. So T.H.I.N.K before you speak…(or post or text or email…)
