Thursday is the Irish day to send wisdom to your friends so here it is just for you: Watch your thoughts; they become words. Watch your words; they become actions. Watch your actions; they become habits.
Watch your habits; they become character. Watch your character; it becomes your destiny.
It's Friday and we are getting close to the 2012, so I say this: Youth is when you're allowed to stay up late on New Year's Eve. Middle age is when you're forced to.
As the final days of 2011 tick by, I attached something I have learned in all my years: If you wish to succeed in life, make perseverance your bosom friend, experience your wise counselor, caution your elder brother, and hope your guardian genius. It worked for me!
