‘Guard well your spare moments. They are like uncut diamonds. Improve them and they will become the brightest gems in a useful life’

RALPH WALDO EMERSON

‘It’s not the years in your life that count. It’s the life in your years!’

‘A compliment is a gift. You wouldn’t put down or reject a gift from a friend; treat complements the same way.’

‘Commit an act of kindness every day. A good deed often leads to a rush of euphoria, which releases endorphins – the body’s natural painkillers.’

‘Whenever you feel uncertain, shy or nervous, think of someone who always shines with confidence, and act like them. You aren’t being fake or pretending, you’re simply “in training”.’

‘If you keep looking at where you came from instead of where you’re going, you’ll trip over any obstacle in your path.’

‘Crying is a natural way to reduce emotional stress that, left unchecked, has negative physical affects on the body, including increasing the risk of cardiovascular disease and other stress-related disorders.’
