The only thing you sometimes have control over is perspective. You don’t have control over your situation. But you have a choice about how you view it.

Inside SF heaven,
there is hell for some
Behind the bars in Alcatraz hell
There was a little heaven for some

WHEN LIFE GIVES YOU A COLD SHOULDER
When life gives you a cold shoulder
Look at the bright side
Where you will find that the grass is greener
And it will also be a little softer and warmer

FROM DEER SCAT TO ART
Sometimes it is what you perceive rather than what you see!

Of all the peoples of the world, the Chinese are probably the most at home with their excrement. They know its value. For 4,000 years they have used raw human feces to fertilize fields.

All Birds find shelter during a rain. But (the)Eagle avoids rain by flying above the Clouds. Problems are common, but attitude makes the difference!!!
Abdul Kalam
The frontier between hell and heaven is only the difference between two ways of looking at things.

George Bernard Shaw

?When I was 15, I spent a month working on an archeological dig. I was talking to one of the archeologists one day during our lunch break and he asked those kinds of ?getting to know you? questions you ask young people: Do you play sports? What?s your favorite subject? And I told him, no I don?t play any sports. I do theater, I?m in choir, I play the violin and piano, I used to take art classes.
And he went WOW. That?s amazing! And I said, ?Oh no, but I?m not any good at ANY of them.?
And he said something then that I will never forget and which absolutely blew my mind because no one had ever said anything like it to me before: ?I don?t think being good at things is the point of doing them. I think you?ve got all these wonderful experiences with different skills, and that all teaches you things and makes you an interesting person, no matter how well you do them.?
And that honestly changed my life. Because I went from a failure, someone who hadn?t been talented enough at anything to excel, to someone who did things because I enjoyed them. I had been raised in such an achievement-oriented environment, so inundated with the myth of Talent, that I thought it was only worth doing things if you could ?Win? at them.?
