The Little Prince, Antoine de Saint-Exupéry describes the confusion of a little boy who, on discovering a field of roses, perceives that the flower he has, which he has tended with such love, is not unique but very ordinary. Then he comes to the realization that the thing that makes his rose unique is not its outward appearance but the time and the love he has consecrated to taking care of it. He exclaims:
"Men . . . raise five thousand roses in the same garden—and they do not find in it what they are looking for. . . .
"And yet what they are looking for could be found in one single rose, or in a little water. . . .
"But the eyes are blind. One must look with the heart"
The positive thinker sees the invisible,
Feels the intangible
And achieves the impossible.
A pessimist sees difficulty in every opportunity,
An optimist sees the opportunity in every difficulty.
There is little difference in people, but that little difference
Makes a big difference.
The little difference is attitude.
The big difference is whether it is positive
Or negative.
Problems cannot be solved by the same
Level of thinking that created them.
Albert Einstein
Those who wish to sing always find a song.
When you get into a tight place and everything
Goes against you,
Till it seems as though you could not
Hold on a minute longer,
Never give up then,
For that is just the place and
Time that the tide will turn.
If we could see the miracle of a single flower
Clearly, our whole life would change.
Fear less, hope more
Talk less, say more
Love more and all good
Things will be yours
SIMPLY BEAUTIFUL~
