"27 Positive Thoughts For Everyone"
"If no one litters, we will not need volunteers to pick up the garbage any more. If no one abuses drugs, drug dealers will starve to death if they refuse to change their job. If no one commits crime, there will be no prisons any more. If no one uses alcohol, car accidents will be reduced by eighty percent. If we fight our enemy with tons of fruits, they will capitulate instantly. If everyone plants one seed of love every day, more than 65 billion love seeds will be planted. And from today on, we will harvest a full load of love from our planting."

Each rebuff is an opportunity to move forward; turn away from them, avoid them, and you throw away your future."
Og Mandino
