LIFE’S WORDS OF WISDOM

There is no moment like the present. The man who will not execute his resolutions when they are fresh upon him can have no hope for them afterwards: they will be dissipated, lost and perish in the hurry and scurry of the world, or sunk in the slough of indolence.

—Maria Edgeworth

Lesson 87

LEARNING FROM THE “SOMEDAY I’LL,” “IF ONLY I HAD” AND “I SHOULD HAVE” EXPERIENCES

For all the sad words of tongues or pen, the saddest are these: It might have been.

—John Greenleaf Whittier

The world is full of people who never believed enough in themselves to go for their dreams. You can pick them out in a crowd with ease, for these are the ones who say, “If only I would’ve,” or “I should’ve done this or that.”

Just as easily to pick out are the future losers. These are the people who today will say, “Someday I’ll do this or that.” For most of these people, their “someday I’ll’s” are only a pipe dream that will never be realized, because they, like the losers of the past, will not do the one thing absolutely necessary for success.
