Thoughts Green and Clean
I give you a new commandment: love one another. As I
have loved you, so you must love one another, then everyone will know
that you are my disciples
(Bible: John 13:34).
The disciples of Christ must be known by the love they
have for one another. Love is the greatest commandment. To love is to
fulfil the law. Genuine love is other-oriented, unselfish. Jesus the
Master loved us so much that he died in order to save us. He wants his
disciples also to practise the same kind of love.
�George Kaitholil
Character
Character comes with right thinking and the
right reaction to the things that happen to you. Talent comes
through the intelligent application of your inner resources to
the field for which you are fitted. Popularity comes through
giving generously of your talents and yourself to those who have
earned the right to be your friends. And success comes in the
proportion that you have put forth the effort to deserve the
things you have pictured for yourself.
�Harold Sherman
What and How to speak
A good speaker leaves the listeners more
informed and a little better off than they would be if he had
kept quiet. Abraham Lincoln said, "I am never more embarrassed
than when I have nothing to say." Speaking for personal
recognition is wasteful; speaking to provide a service to others
is honourable. The best advice here is to have something to say
and know what you�re saying, or keep quiet.
�W.F. Weaver
