Kẻ thất bại chỉ sống trong quá khứ. Người chiến thắng là người học hỏi được từ quá khứ, vui thích với công việc trong hiện tại hướng đến tương lai. (Losers live in the past. Winners learn from the past and enjoy working in the present toward the future. )Denis Waitley
Mạng sống quý giá này có thể chấm dứt bất kỳ lúc nào, nhưng điều kỳ lạ là hầu hết chúng ta đều không thường xuyên nhớ đến điều đó!Tủ sách Rộng Mở Tâm Hồn
Chúng ta không có quyền tận hưởng hạnh phúc mà không tạo ra nó, cũng giống như không thể tiêu pha mà không làm ra tiền bạc. (We have no more right to consume happiness without producing it than to consume wealth without producing it. )George Bernard Shaw
Hãy lặng lẽ quan sát những tư tưởng và hành xử của bạn. Bạn sâu lắng hơn cái tâm thức đang suy nghĩ, bạn là sự tĩnh lặng sâu lắng hơn những ồn náo của tâm thức ấy. Bạn là tình thương và niềm vui còn chìm khuất dưới những nỗi đau. (Be the silent watcher of your thoughts and behavior. You are beneath the thinkers. You are the stillness beneath the mental noise. You are the love and joy beneath the pain.)Eckhart Tolle
Ví như người mù sờ voi, tuy họ mô tả đúng thật như chỗ sờ biết, nhưng ta thật không thể nhờ đó mà biết rõ hình thể con voi.Kinh Đại Bát Niết-bàn
Hãy học cách vui thích với những gì bạn có trong khi theo đuổi tất cả những gì bạn muốn. (Learn how to be happy with what you have while you pursue all that you want. )Jim Rohn
Nếu bạn nghĩ mình làm được, bạn sẽ làm được. Nhưng nếu bạn nghĩ mình không làm được thì điều đó cũng sẽ trở thành sự thật. (If you think you can, you can. And if you think you can't, you're right.)Mary Kay Ash
Điều quan trọng không phải là bạn nhìn vào những gì, mà là bạn thấy được những gì. (It's not what you look at that matters, it's what you see.)Henry David Thoreau
Chúng ta nhất thiết phải làm cho thế giới này trở nên trung thực trước khi có thể dạy dỗ con cháu ta rằng trung thực là đức tính tốt nhất. (We must make the world honest before we can honestly say to our children that honesty is the best policy. )Walter Besant
Thành công là tìm được sự hài lòng trong việc cho đi nhiều hơn những gì bạn nhận được. (Success is finding satisfaction in giving a little more than you take.)Christopher Reeve

Relax, close your eyes and picture the toughest, meanest kid in school. This story is about Hazel, a little girl who frightened everybody until one day the most incredible thing happened to her. Listen carefully to her story.
“She’s coming!” cried Tiny running back to his seat. The classroom fell ominously silent as the door flew open. It wasn’t the teacher who scared the children. It was a girl called Hazel Nutt. Some said she’d been bullied when she was small. Others said she was born mean. But most people just tried to keep out of her way. The only time Hazel smiled was when she made someone cry.
Miss Poppy, the teacher, came in behind Hazel. She was just sitting down when there was a knock at the door and another girl walked in. As she entered the room the sun came out and seemed to fall on the floor before her. “I’m Rosie Peach,” she said. “I'm the new girl.”
For the rest of that day the atmosphere in the classroom was light and happy, as if a shadow had lifted. Rosie’s smile was infectious to all except Hazel Nutt, who was feeling something she didn’t often feel. She felt frightened.
The final bell rang. Shoving away everyone in her path, Hazel went to the nearby forest and angrily pulled out her catapult. “I need some cheering up,” she said to herself Hazel spied a rabbit sunning itself in a pool of light. Quick as a flash she loaded her catapult with a stone, took aim and fired. The stone hit the rabbit on the thigh. The animal jumped in fright and Hazel ran after it, laughing. Then she stopped dead. There was Rosie, sitting in the grass, stroking the rabbit and singing to it. The rabbits leg was bleeding.
“You give me that rabbit. Its mine!” yelled Hazel.
“This rabbit belongs to itself” said Rosie.
“It’s wild.” “It’s just a dumb animal,” laughed Hazel. “Are you a bit stupid? You talk to animals do you?”
“Yes, as a matter of fact, I do. Come closer and listen yourself' Rosie hummed softly to the rabbit. “Is this a trap?” thought Hazel.
She moved closer, ready to fight if she had to. “I can't hear anything,” she said. “Closer, come closer,” said Rosie.
One of Rosie's hands was resting on the rabbit's wound. As Hazel lent forward, Rosie’s other hand shot up and touched Hazel on her chest over her heart. Hazel froze. The world started spinning. She wanted to jump and laugh. She also wanted to eat grass! What was happening to her? A sharp pain bit into her thigh and she screamed. Her leg was bleeding. A girl was running toward her with a catapult. Hazel could make no sense of it. She limped into the undergrowth. The pain was terrible. Then she saw Rosie, sitting on the grass and singing. She laid her head in the girl's lap and, as Rosie gently stroked her, the pain began to ease.
Rosie took her hand from Hazel's heart. “What did you do to me?” sobbed Hazel.
“I let you see and feel what this little rabbit saw and felt as you hurt it,” said Rosie.
"I'm so sorry.” Hazel stroked the rabbit. Then she took it home and cared for it until it was better.
From then on, Hazel was no longer a frightening, angry girl. Soon, everyone wanted to be her friend. And no-one noticed that Rosie, the new girl, didn't come back to school. In some ways it seemed as if Hazel was the new girl now.
Sometimes we might act tough, to hide the frightened or confused way we feel inside. Trying to see the other persons point of view can help us to understand and be kind to each other.
