Despite how difficult circumstances may look at the moment, those who have faith and move forward with a happy spirit will find that things always work out.

Cultivate whatever talents you have, and they will grow anв refine and become an expression of your true self appreciated by others.

It is good to LOOK to the past to gain appreciation for the present and perspective for the FUTURE. It is good to look upon the VIRTUES of those who have gone before; to gain STRENGTH for whatever lies ahead. It is good to REFLECT upon the work of those who labored so hard and gained so little in this world, but out of whose DREAMS and early pains, so well nurtured, has come a great gravest of which we are the beneficiaries. Their tremendous EXAMPLE can become a compelling MOTIVATION for all of us.
