THOUGHT FOR THE DAY
“Microscopic minds which are habitually occupied in the consideration of what is little are incapable of discerning what is great”
THE FOUR WAY TEST of the things we think, say, or do
1) Is it the TRUTH?
2) Is it FAIR to all concerned?
3) Will it build GOODWILL and BETTER FRIENDHSIPS?
4) Will it be BENEFICAL to all concerned?
