THOUGHT FOR THE DAY

 

“I am only one, but still I am one.

I cannot do everything, but I still I can do something.

And because I cannot do everything,

I will not refuse to do something that I can do.”

 

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?
