Most important job you can have in the world! Are you up for it? The requirements for the position are:
People die all the time. Life is a lot more fragile than we think. So you should treat others in a way that leaves no regrets. Fairly, and if possible, sincerely. It’s too easy not to make the effort, then weep and wring your hands after the person dies.
Are you feeling defeated at this point in your life? Do you have 5 minutes to spare me? Click to watch the inspiring video based on the true story of a group of children in Koh Panyee, a little island in the south of Thailand.

the stones that others hurl you can be used to hurt you and can bury you alive if you allow them to. However, we have a choice to take the stones which are thrown at us to build a monument. We cannot stop others from throwing stones at us but we sure can choose what to do with the stones.
That was great advise from Robin Sharma! I was replying to an email from a friend this morning about the times when I just felt like giving up but something good always happened that make me persevered. Perhaps he said it best that the moment when we most feel like giving up is when we most need to be keeping on.
