To bring out the best in others, we must first bring out the best in ourselves. Do not wait for the perfect time to bring out the best in yourself. You have it right now. You are good enough to start. Do your best with what you have. That is all you need.

Two Daily Thoughts for you:

“As human beings, our job in life is to help people realize how rare and valuable each one of us really is, that each of us has something that no one else has- or ever will have- something inside that is unique to all time. It’s our job to encourage each other to discover that uniqueness and to provide ways of developing its expression.”- Fred Rogers

“You know, I think everybody longs to be loved, and longs to know that he or she is lovable. And, consequently, the greatest thing that we can do is to help somebody know that they’re loved and capable of loving.”- Fred Rogers

Simplify, Simplify, Simplify!

“Simplify, simplify, simplify!”

Henry David Thoreau said, “Our life is frittered away by details. … Simplify, simplify, simplify! I say, let your affairs be as two or three, and not a hundred or a thousand; instead of a million count half a dozen, and keep your accounts on your thumb-nail. … Simplify, simplify.” Whatever you do, don’t make it difficult for yourself. Remove complexity from your work, your life, and your relationships. Because complexity leads to failure. It does not make things better. According to Alan Perlis, “Fools ignore complexity. Pragmatists suffer it. Some can avoid it. Geniuses remove it.”
