Pocket Maxims (5 of 5)

Listen to advice and accept discipline.
                  —Proverbs 19:20

(concluded)

  • Be thankful for the blessings you have, and for the problems you don’t have.
  • Tell the truth, and you don’t have to remember what you said.
  • Be careful how you use time and words. You can’t get either of them back.
  • The sooner you get started, the sooner you’ll be done.
  • Temptation will come. Decide now what you will do then.
  • You can’t build on self-pity; only wallow in it.
  • Anger and wisdom seldom occupy the same space.
  • Talent sets limits, but you decide what you do within those limits.
  • Growing old is inevitable. Growing up is optional.
  • Above all, finish well.

Count your age by growth, not years.
