A Little Inspiration

People are often unreasonable, illogical, and self-centered;
Forgive them anyway.
If you are kind, people may accuse you of selfish, ulterior motives;
Be kind anyway.
If you are successful, you will win some false friends and some true enemies;
Succeed anyway.
If you are honest and frank, people may cheat you;
Be honest and frank anyway.
What you spend years building, someone could destroy overnight;
Build anyway.
If you find serenity and happiness, they may be jealous;
Be happy anyway.
The good you do today, people will often forget tomorrow;
Do good anyway.
Give the world the best you have, and it may never be enough;
Give the world the best you’ve got anyway.
You see, in the final analysis, It is between you and God;
It never was between you and them anyway.

When I was five years old, my mother told me that happiness was the key to life.

When I went to school, they asked me what I wanted to be.

I wrote down “Happy”.

They told me I didn’t understand the assignment.

I told them they didn’t understand life.

A fellow blogger, Young Yang, made a post on expanding shortened URLs that I feel is worth passing onto my readers. The need for this never really occurred to me but, as Young points out, there too many low life’s out there that will send you to places you don’t want to go.

Young has listed ten free sites that will expand shortened URLs. If you follow shortened links on Twitter or elsewhere you may want to consider using one of them.

His list is HERE.
