GRATITUDE

Let's not take for granted
That friendly little deed
Of the kindly neighbor
Who recognized our need.

Let's not take for granted
The sunshine and the rain,
The peace that enfolds us,
The day that's free from pain.

Let's not take for granted
The loyalty and smiles
Of one who's walked beside us
These many weary miles.

Let's not take for granted
These gifts that smooth our way;
Instead let's express
Our gratitude each day.

But you don't even need to wait for tomorrow...because RIGHT NOW is also here!

"Most people feel sad when other people, equally or lesser talented from them, show far better results. The reason for such a situation is simple - wrong priorities and incorrect benchmarking.

I think that is the success formula for everyone in addition to his or her talents.
