Each of us has two distinct choices to make about what we will do with our lives. The first choice we can make is to be less than we have the capacity to be. To earn less, to have less, to read less and think less, to try less and discipline ourselves less. These choices lead to an empty life. These choices lead to a life of constant apprehension instead of a life of wondrous anticipation.
And the second choice, to do it all!….. To become all that we can possibly be. To read every book that we possibly can. To earn as much as we possibly can. To strive, produce, and accomplish as much as we possibly can. All of us have the choice.
To do or not to do. To be or not to be. To be all or to be less or to be nothing at all.
Like the tree, it would be a worthy challenge for us all to stretch upward and outward to the full measure of our capabilities. Why not do all that we can, every moment that we can, the best that we can, for as long as we can?
Our ultimate life objective should be to create as much as our talent and ability. To settle for doing less that we could do is to fail in this worthiest of undertakings.
Results are the best measurement of human progress. Not conversation. Not explanation. Not justification. Results! In addition, if the results are less than our potential suggests that they should be, then we must strive to become more today than we were the day before.
The greatest rewards are always reserve for those who bring great value to themselves and the world around them because of whom and what they have become.
Most of us have lots of fears. Fears of rejection and fears of failure. So always, think of this.
If you do mistakes, so what, nobody is perfect. You can strive better next time. If they will reject you, then so be it, think that they are just a challenges to overcome . If you fail, then learn from your failure, and start all over again tomorrow. Everybody fails
one way or another. Thomas Edison failed over 3,000 times to develop the light bulb. Think about scientist. They are the failure masters: they never get it right the first time. Did you know that Colonel Saunders went through nine years of failure just to perfect his secret blend of herbs that the KFC Chicken having now a days.
It takes a lot of courage and hope … But we always have to choice along the way, “to do or not to do, to be or not to be”.
“To Do or Not to Do, to Be or Not to Be”

This one is a really cool thought, we always find people afraid to face life and afraid to face the situations arising in life… But they never realize that if they face it with full courage, they get the power to overcome any difficulties that come across them and tackle them… If they are able to do it once they will not hesitate to tackle any problem they come across in the future…
