A first grade teacher collected well known proverbs. She gave each child
in her class the first half of a proverb and asked them to come up with
the remainder of the proverb. It's hard to believe these were actually
done by first graders, but there are some good ones nonetheless -their
insight may surprise you.

A Reprint from WORD FOR TODAY - Written by Bob Gass
" ...think on these things. "
Philippians 4 : 8
At a retirement dinner for a successful executive, there was a lot of
good-hearted teasing of the guest of honour before he got up to
speak. He told a few jokes of his own, before he started to reminisce
about his successes and failures, and the reasons behind them.'Let me
tell you why I've enjoyed such success' he said. 'Years ago I had a
great boss and mentor. One day he gave me his business card.
On the back, he'd written seventeen words. He told me that whenever
he had a tough decision to make, or was in a predicament, he'd read
each of these words. Then he'd close his eyes, pray, and be quiet.
Each time he did, something amazing would happen: one of the words
would jump out at him and steer him in the right direction. He told
me that for forty years these seventeen words never failed him. And
I'm here tonight to tell you that in the last forty years, they've
never failed me either.'Then he passed out his business cards, and
here's what was written on the back of each one: (Read each one
slowly and thoughtfully).
The seventeen words that will never fail you are:
prepare...listen...smile...love...ch
oose...focus...believe...relax...act
...forgive...pray...trust...change.. .persist...accept...risk...wait!
And now the power of these seventeen words has been passed on to you!
