Stay away from Anger. It hurts only You and nobody else. If you are right, then there is no need to get angry, and if you are wrong then you don't have any right to get angry. Patience with family is love, Patience with others is respect, Patience with self is confidence and Patience with GOD is faith. Never think hard about the past, it brings tears. Don't think more about the future, it brings fear. Live this moment with a Smile, it brings cheer. Every test in our life makes us bitter or better, every problem comes to make us or break us, The choice is ours whether we become victims or victorious. Search for a beautiful heart not a beautiful face. Beautiful things are not always good, but good things are always beautiful. Do you know why God created gaps between fingers? So that someone who is special to you comes and fills those gaps by holding your hand forever. Never forget this advice! Happiness keeps You Sweet, Trials keep You Strong, Success keeps You Glowing, and But Only God keeps You Going! When you don't give up, you cannot fail.

A single-minded Tom Edison
“Little strokes fell great oaks.”–Benjamin Franklin
The February 1998 issue of Success magazine contains an excerpt from a story that the magazine printed 100 years ago. The article, “A single-minded Tom Edison,” contains an interview with Thomas A. Edison, the great inventor.
Here is part of the conversation Theodore Dreiser had with Edison:
“Dreiser: ‘What’s the first requisite for success?'”
“Edison: ‘The ability to apply your physical and mental energies to one problem incessantly. . .'” “You do something all day long, don’t you? If you get up at 7 and go to bed at 11, you have put in 16 good hours, and it is certain with most men that they have been doing something all the time. The only trouble is that they do it about a great many things, and I do it about one. If they applied it in one direction. . .they would succeed.’
In that short interview, Edison reveals one requirement for achieving success: focus.
Does your life have focus?
“Brothers, I do not consider myself yet to have taken hold of it. But one thing I do: Forgetting what is behind and straining toward what is ahead.” (Philippians 3:13)
But Jesus said to him, “No one, after putting his hand to the plow and looking back, is fit for the kingdom of God.” (Luke 9:62)
