One of the most important things to succcss is a firm.reso1ution. A great man is al ways one who has a firm resolution and an inflexible spirit. One will never succeed all his life without a firm will to get the final victory.
As a rule, great tasks are accomplished by men of strong will. For example, Dr. Sun Yatsen set the Cbinese people free from the rule of the Qing Dynasty through a long pcriod of hard struggle. Many of his attempts failed and many of bis followers were killed, but he had an inflexible spirit and sticked to his cause. Finally, he made the revo lution of 1911 a success.
A student who has no resolution will never succeed in his studies. The same is true of men in all walks of life. We must have a firm resolution first, if we wish to succeed. We must always remember thc old saying that where there is a will there is a way.

The Place of Science and Technology in e1Modern Life
Human hfe can not continue without. science and technology. For many years, human society has developed with the advance of science and technology while the develop ment of science and technology has in turn brought the process to mankind. So the life we are living now is more civilized than that of our forefather's.
The development of science and technology has brought about many changes in peopie's life. For example, the invention of television and thc spaceship has opened a newera for mankind. Through the use of TV people can hear the sound and learn the events which happened thousands of miles away. Owing to the invention of the spaceship and the rocket, the dream of man's landing on the moon has now come true.
Science and technology also play an important role in our. socialist construction. We may say that our socialist construcdon is just tike a skyscraper, while science and technology are its base. Without the base, the skyscraper can't be built up. Therefore, we should try our best to contribute to the development of science and technology so as to provide a more solid base to build our country.

Practice Makes Perfect
Practice makse perfect, It means that after you have plenty of practice in what you are doing, you will be perfect in it. He who practises a lot will spend less time mastering the skills than he who seldom or never practises.
For example, when we learn English, we have to learn grammer, words, expres sions and so on. The most important thing may be how to put what we've learned into practice, lf you only learn the grammatic rules by heart and don' t do enough exercises, it is certain that you can't understand them perfectly. But if you practise a lot, maybe you will understand them more deeply and you carl find some good methods of applying them. Memorize the English words whenever time permits, and we can easily memorize them and even can find a way to memorize them more quickly.
There is another good example for it. A famous singer can sing very well. Of course, his talent is very important, but the practice is necessary. It is the practice that makes the singer sing better and better.
It is evident that practice is importer to everybody. If you want to improve your study and work, you should remember that practice makes perfect.

Haste Makes Waste
There is an old saying, "Haste makes waste." It's the experience of our forefa thers, howewr, it is correct in many cases even today.
Usually, if you act faster, you can reach your goals earlier. But it isn't always thecase. If you emphasize only on speed but ignore the quality of your work, your effect will be the opposite. The more hasty you arc, the slowcr you achieve completeness and success.
Suppose you are preparing for your final examination. There are a lot of exercises to do and many notes to memorize. The fact that you have no enough time inakes you very worried. So you have to read and write continuously, without rest, without sleep, with out relaxation. The result is that your brain is less and less efficient, your process is slower and slower, The situation goes from bad to worse. All your efforts lead to nothing.
On the contrary, if you do your preparations with a calculated plan and carry out the plan step by step, your work will be effective. Consequently, you will take part in the exams confidently with good preparations.
Whatever you do, please remember the saying—Haste makes waste. If you under stand it and apply it to your study or work. you'll benefit a lot from it.

Leaving or Staying A Choice upon Graduation
Having stayed on campus for so many yearsm some students become bored and can't wait to pick up a job. They are eager to lead a life that is less stressful intellectually and less pressing economically. In their eyes jobs can provide them with constant opportunities for solving problemsmwhich demands a combination of schoolbook knowledge and practical abilitieB
However, some students plan to continue their education in pursuing a master's degree. In terms of career academic preparation, knowledge and skills acquired at undergraduate level are far from adequate. A sound fact is that an increasing number of graduates are returning, motivated by the need to update their knowledge and enhance their skills. The news that graduates with higher degrees are better off spreads from shrinking job market.
All this indicates that a bachelor's degree can hardly qualify students for a competitive position. If I am faced with the choice, I prefer to stay and pursue a M. A. degree. I know my choice will mean a commitment of time and money. But opportunities always take the form of hardships and risks. The days might be rigorous and painstaking, but they would certainly be fulfilling and rewarding, and would surely lead to a prosperous future.

Similar or different friends
One of the themes universal to the literature of all languages is friendship. Humans need the enjoyment, warmth and laughter shared with others.
Having a group of similar friends, we can feel a sense of strength when they share our opinions, and ambitious person kike an artist or politician may feel a special need to be surrounded by people who assist and encourage him in his pursuit. Furthermore, old friends know how to be harmonious with one another and how to avoid potential arguments. The well-known, great friendship between Marx and Engels is very touching and typical example of bosom friends.
Nonetheless, practically speaking, we all need to advance in life. Most of us have to make new friends when we leave school and seek employment. New friends can lead to new adventures, new career opportunities and new life. Likewise, different friends can help us on different occasions when we encounter obstacles . A different friends is also a mirror which can reflect your virtues and shortcomings. From him, you can find what you lack and you can learn what you need. When viewed from these perspective , different friends may do more in shaping you than the similar ones.
No matter how similar they are, every two friend shave differences. And now matter how different they are, they have at least one similarity : the faith in friendship. With the sincere friendship, you can find shelter from danger, courage in need, and hands ready to help; open your heart to your friends, whether they are similar to or different from you, and you may become the luckiest man.

Communication
The world we are living in is amazing . There are countless living things. How can they live harmoniously ? The answer is communication.
Communication, of course, doesn’t need to be in words. We can talk to each other by a smile, a frown , a shrug of our shoulders, and a gesture with our hands. Shaking hands is a very common gesture, which is performed both on initial greeting and departure . We know that birds and animals use a whole vocabulary of songs, sounds, and movements. Bees dance their signals, flying in certain pattern that tell other bees where to find nectar of honey .
Can plants talks? Yes---but not in words. We have reasons to believe that trees do communicate with each other. Not long ago, researcher learned some surprising things. First, a willow tree attacked in the woods by caterpillars changes the chemistry of its leaves and made them taste so awful that the caterpillars go disgusted and stopped eating them. Then, ever more astonishing , the tree sent out special vapors ---an alarm signal stimulating its neighbors to change the chemistry of their own leaves and make them less tasty.
Communication is so important in the nature world. As human beings we should communicate with each other to make the earth peaceful.

Modesty
Modesty is one of the many qualities that cross - century young people should possess. It makes you foresee your imperfections. It gives you the impetus to go forward. Most important of all, it makes you accessible and creates favorable conditions for you in interpersonal contacts.
However, many young people do not seem to realize the importance of modesty. Some of them just feel satisfied with a little success, without the slightest desire to make further progress. Others have too high an opinion of themselves, totally ignoring other people’s suggestions and advice. Consequently, their immodesty often drives them up against the wall. Worst of all, immodesty takes many young people away from their colleagues and friends. Therefore they find fewer people with whom they can confide.
For you to be modest, the first thing to do is to have a full understanding of your deficiencies. No matter whom you are and no matter how talented you are, you are unlikely to be all - powerful. In fact, you will always, in spite of your talents, find things about which you feel helpless. Besides, you should also admit other people's strong points and try your best to learn from them. If you keep these two points in mind, you are on the right path to developing modesty.

The Importance of Physical Exercise
Everyone hopes to live happily in the world. Physical exercise is indispensable to a happy life. There is a famous saying: "Life lies on exercise." Although you will not necessarily die without regular physical exercises, they' II certainly help you live longer and more healthily.
Exercise is good for us to build our bodies. It helps co - ordinate the different parts of our bodies when we have sports. For example, we must try our best to co - ordinate the movements of the arms and legs when we play basketball, or we won't be able to shoot the basket. Exercise also benefits our organs. It lets the heart beat faster than usual, and then helps enlarge the blood vessels to protect us from heart attacks.
Exercise can also contribute to the development of our ability to response agilely. For instance, when you play table- tennis, you must try to reflect as quickly as you can so that you may fight back at the right position at the fight moment.
Exercise can also contribute to improving our mood. When you do exercise, you move a lot, and you have to be more active. It helps you become more optimistic.
Exercise will fill your life with various contents and make it more colorful.
What's more, exercise will help you get rid of your inertia. If you keep doing exercise regularly, you will never be a lazy person. Therefore, exercise has great effect on one's character.
In a word, exercise is helpful, important and absolutely necessary.

Air-conditioners
In recent years, the air- conditioner has become one of the many indispensable electrical appliances for thousands upon thousands of families, especially those in the south, where the intense heat overwhelms the earth throughout the summer. The advantages of the air- conditioner are self - evident. Armed with the ability to refrigerate, the air- conditioner makes you feel refreshing and comfortable no matter how hot it is outside. Thus it guarantees the efficiency of your work and the quality of your rest. Without it there would be no knowing what would happen to you in the dog days. Moreover, it can also create a proper condition in summer for the operation of computers -- the best friends of yours in the information age. Too high a temperature would make computers work improperly, causing much inconvenience for your daily life and work.
With all the advantages the air- conditioner offers, its disadvantages are also obvious. To begin with, the installment of the air - conditioner always involves the hole making in the wall, which undoubtedly makes the wall less pleasing to the eye than if not. Besides, the air- conditioned environment may make you more and more dependent on the air - conditioner, thus physically weakening your ability to cope with hot weather. Most important, the air - conditioned environment provides poor ventilation, and sometimes may even give rise to a strange kind of smell, which makes you feel dizzy and sick. Consequently, you will be in no mood for enjoying the cool air produced by the air- conditioner.
All things considered, I think its advantages outweigh its disadvantages. Actually, nothing in the world is perfect. It is unwise to make light of the favorable aspects of a thing on account of its unfavorable aspects. The same is true of the attitude you take towards the air - conditioner.

Changes in Peoples Diet
In our country, with the development of economy, some changes have taken place in people's diet. From the table listed above, we can see that people eat mole meat and drink more milk than they used to do. On the other hand, people consume less grain, fruit and vegetables now than in the past.
There are some reasons for the changes in people's diet. First, economy has developed very quickly, therefore, people are well paid and have enough money to buy what they like. Second, more and more people think that diet is very important to their health. So they eat more nourishing food such as milk and meat.
In my opinion, both milk and meat are important to our health, however, too much rich food will cause some problems. People should maintain a balanced diet.

Money
Money is what everybody desires. It can be used to buy food, clothes, books, bicycle, furniture and many other things people need or want.
Money is considered by many people as the most important hing in life. With money, they can go wherever they please and do whatever they want. With money, they can buy a fine house to live in, fashionable clothes to put on, and a nice bicycle to ride. And with money, they can employ attendants to serve them. In a word, money can make people comfortuble and bring them happiness.
However, money is also the source of all crimes and brings them misery. Since rnoney is so tempting, quite a few people are attracted by it and begin to go astray. By hook or by crook, they try to make money. To get more money, they gamble, swindle, steal, rob or do many other evil things, for "money makes the mare go". As a result, money leads them to jail or even to the execution grounds.
Of coarse money is useful and desirable, yet we should make money in proper way and spend our money on proper things.

Where to Live--in the City or in the Country
Some people enioY the convenience of the city. First, there are many public places of entertainment, such as parks, cinemas, exhibitions, nightclubs and so on. And there ale also quite a number of schools, universities and scientific research institutions that provide good education. Second, the public transportation facilities are very convenient. Taxicabs, buses, trolley buses, and subways can quickly take people anyplace in the city. And third, shops and department stores are well stocked with goods of all kinds, high in quality and low in price.
Some people like the rural scenery in the country. First, it is close to the outdoors, the air being fresh and pure. Second, it is free from the noise and air pollution and traffic jams of the city. Third, gardening and fishing here are pleasant pastimes.
But the city and country have their own disadvantages. For examples, the pollution and traffic jam have become more and more serious in the city, while in the country life is relatively backward. Comparing this with that. however. I prefer to live in the city.

Advertisement and products
When it comes to advertisement and products, some people believe successful selling of products can’t be separated from advertisement. To begin with, advertisement keeps people informative about the price and function of products; what’s more, advertisement can help to improve products’ brand awareness and its reputation.
But on another hand, only with good quality can advertisement arouse customers’ interest in the products. Otherwise, advertisement can be misleading and deceptive.
From what has been discussed above, we may safely draw a conclusion that honest and colorful advertisement brings benefits to products, but at the same time, products’ quality can’t be ignored.

The Case Begins
The September sun was shining brightly into the windows of 221B Baker Street,and London was enjoying a beautiful late summer.I had finished my breakfast and was reading the newspaper.As usual,Holmes had got up late,and was still eating.We were expecting a visitor at half past ten,and I wondered whether Holmes would finish his breakfast be fore our visitor arrived.
Holmes was in no hurry.He was reading once again a letter he had received three days ago.It was from Dr James Mortimer,who asked for an appointment with Holmes.
'Well,Watson,'Holmes said to me,'I'm afraid that a doc tor from Devonshire won't bring us anything of real interest.His letter doesn't tell us anything about his business though he says it's very important.I hope we can help him.'
At exactly half past ten there was a knock on our front door.
'Good,'said Holmes.'Dr Mortimer is clearly a man who will not waste our time.'
We stood up as our visitor was brought into the room.
'Good morning,gentlemen,'he said.'I'm Dr James Mor timer,from Grimpen in Devonshire,and I think you must be Mr Sherlock Holmes.'He shook hands with Holmes,who said:
'How do you do,Dr Mortimer?May I introduce my good friend,Dr John Watson,who helps me with my cases.I hope you will allow him to listen to our conversation.'
'Of course,'said Mortimer,as he turned to me and shook hands.'I need your help very badly,Mr Holmes.If it will be useful for Dr Watson to hear what I have to say,please let him stay and listen.'
Mortimer did not look like a country doctor.He was very tall and thin.He had a long thin nose.His grey eyes were bright,and he wore gold glasses.His coat and trousers were old and worn.His face was young,but his shoulders were bent like an old man's and his head was pushed forward.He took some pa pers from his pocket,and said:
'Mr Holmes,I need your help and advice.Something very strange and frightening has been happening.'
'Sit down,Dr Mortimer,'said Holmes,'and tell us your problem.I'll help you if I can.'

A Forever Friend
"A friend walk in when the rest of the world walks out."
Sometimes in life,
You find a special friend;
Someone who changes your life just by being part of it.
Someone who makes you laugh until you can't stop;
Someone who makes you believe that there really is good in the world.
Someone who convinces you that there really is an unlocked door just waiting for you to
open it.
This is Forever Friendship.
when you're down,
and the world seems dark and empty,
Your forever friend lifts you up in spirits and makes that dark and empty world
suddenly seem bright and full.
Your forever friend gets you through the hard times, the sad times, and the confused
times.
If you turn and walk away,
Your forever friend follows,
If you lose you way,
Your forever friend guides you and cheers you on.
Your forever friend holds your hand and tells you that everything is going to be okay.
And if you find such a friend,
You feel happy and complete,
Because you need not worry,
Your have a forever friend for life,
And forever has no end.
If You Forget Me
By Pablo Neruda
I want you to know one thing
You know how this is
If I look at the crystal moon
at the red branch
of the slow autumn at my window
If I touch near the fire
the impalpable ash,
or the wrinkled body of the log
Everything carries me to you
As if everything that exists
Aromas, light, medals,
Or little boats that sail toward
those isles of your that wait for me,
Well now. If little by little
You stop loving me,
I shall stop loving you
Little by little.
If suddenly you forget me
Do not look for me
For I shall already have forgotten you.
If you think it long and mad
the wind of banners
that passes through my life,
And you decide to leave me
at the shore of the heart where I have roots,
Remember, that on that day, at that hour,
I shall lift my arms
And my roots will set off
to seek another land.
But, if each day, each hour,
You feel that you are destined for me
with implacable sweetness,
If each day a flower climbs
up to your lips to seek me,
Ah my love, ah my own,
in me all that fire is repeated,
In me nothing is extinguished or forgotten
My love feeds on your love, beloved,
And as long as you live
it will be in your arms without leaving mine.
DON'T…
Don't underestimate yourself.
Don't refuse to listen.
Don't bottle things up.
Don't expect life to be fair.
Don't stick your head in the sand.
Don't beat your head against a brick wall.
Don't think the grass is greener
on the other side.
Where there is great love, there are always miracles.
Love is like a butterfly. It goes where it pleases and it pleases where it goes.
If I had a single flower for every time I think about you, I could walk forever in my garden.
Within you I lose myself, without you I find myself wanting to be lost again.
At the touch of love everyone becomes a poet.
Look into my eyes - you will see what you mean to me.
Distance makes the hearts grow fonder.
I need him like I need the air to breathe.
If equal affection cannot be, let the more loving be me.
Love is a vine that grows into our hearts.
If I know what love is, it is because of you.
Love is the greatest refreshment in life.
Love never dies.
The darkness is no darkness with thee.
We cease loving ourselves if no one loves us.
There is no remedy for love but to love more.
When love is not madness, it is not love.
A heart that loves is always young.
Love is blind.
Love is like the moon, when it does not increase, it decreases.
The soul cannot live without love.
Brief is life, but love is long.
Who travels for love finds a thousand miles not longer than one.
Love keeps the cold out better than a cloak.
Take away love, and our earth is a tomb.
My heart is with you.
I miss you so much already and I haven't even left yet!
I'll think of you every step of the way.
Wherever you go, whatever you do, I will be right here waiting for you.
Passionate love is a quenchless thirst.
The most precious possession that ever comes to a man in this world is a woman's heart.
One word frees us of all the weight and pain in life.That word is love.
Every day without you is like a book without pages.
Love is hard to get into, but harder to get out of.
Love is a light that never dims.
May your love soar on the wings of a dove in flight.
She who has never loved, has never lived.
Life is the flower for which love is the honey.
No words are necessary between two loving hearts.
Precious things are very few in this world. That is the reason there is just one you.
You make my heart smile.
The road to a lover's house is never long.
Why do the good girls, always want the bad boys?
Being with you is like walking on a very clear morning.
It is never too late to fall in love.
To the world you may be just one person. To the person you may be the world.
Where there is love, there are always wishes.
You don't love a woman because she is beautiful, but she is beautiful because you love her.
Love is something eternal; the aspect may change, but not the essence.
Love is not a matter of counting the days. It's making the days count.
With the wonder of your love, the sun above always shines.
Love is a fabric that nature wove and fantasy embroidered.
First love is unforgettable all one's life.
In the very smallest cot there is room enough for a loving pair.
Love without end hath no end.
Love's tongue is in the eyes.
In love folly is always sweet.
There is no hiding from lover's eyes.
The only present love demands is love.
The heart that once truly loves never forgets.
Love warms more than a thousand fires.
Your smiling at me is my daily dose of magic.
Your kiss still burns on my lips, everyday of mine is so beautiful.
Love understands love; it needs no talk.
Love me little and love me long.
First impression of you is most lasting.
When the words "I love you" were said by you for the first time, my world blossoms.
Tell me you are mine. I'll be yours through all the years, till the end of time.
Love is a fire which burns unseen.
I feel happy at times we have had angry words but these have been kissed away.
You cannot appreciate happiness unless you have known sadness too.
But if the while I think on thee, dear friend, all losses are restored, and sorrows end.
Be Happy
Red is for love
Let you love shine
Create it in you soul
Trust yourself
Blue is for truth
Live you inner truth
Take responsibility for yourself
Violet is for respect
Toward everybody you meet.
And so you create your own cercle of colors to see a Rianbow
Hear and feel the sounds of each color
Write your own symphony
And share it with the World
DON'T…
Don't underestimate yourself.
Don't refuse to listen.
Don't bottle things up.
Don't expect life to be fair.
Don't stick your head in the sand.
Don't beat your head against a brick wall.
Don't think the grass is greener
on the other side.
I saw thee weep
I saw thee’weep
the big bright tear
Came over that eve of blue
And then me thought it did appear
A violet dropping dew
I saw thee’ smile
the sapphire’s blaze
Beside thee’ceased to shine
It could not match the living rays
That filld’that glance of thine
As clouds from yonder sun receive
A deep and mellow dye
Which scarce the shade of coming eve
Can banish from the sky
Those smiles unto the moodiest mind
Their own pure joy impart
Their sunshine leaves a glow behind
That lighens over the heart
Where there is great love, there are always miracles.
Love is like a butterfly. It goes where it pleases and it pleases where it goes.
If I had a single flower for every time I think about you, I could walk forever in my garden.
Within you I lose myself, without you I find myself wanting to be lost again.
At the touch of love everyone becomes a poet.
Look into my eyes - you will see what you mean to me.
Distance makes the hearts grow fonder.
I need him like I need the air to breathe.
If equal affection cannot be, let the more loving be me.
Love is a vine that grows into our hearts.
If I know what love is, it is because of you.
Love is the greatest refreshment in life.
Love never dies.
The darkness is no darkness with thee.
We cease loving ourselves if no one loves us.
There is no remedy for love but to love more.
When love is not madness, it is not love.
A heart that loves is always young.
Love is blind.
Love is like the moon, when it does not increase, it decreases.
The soul cannot live without love.
Brief is life, but love is long.
Who travels for love finds a thousand miles not longer than one.
Love keeps the cold out better than a cloak.
Take away love, and our earth is a tomb.
My heart is with you.
I miss you so much already and I haven't even left yet!
I'll think of you every step of the way.
Wherever you go, whatever you do, I will be right here waiting for you.
Passionate love is a quenchless thirst.
The most precious possession that ever comes to a man in this world is a woman's heart.
One word frees us of all the weight and pain in life.That word is love.
Every day without you is like a book without pages.
Love is hard to get into, but harder to get out of.
Love is a light that never dims.
May your love soar on the wings of a dove in flight.
She who has never loved, has never lived.
Life is the flower for which love is the honey.
No words are necessary between two loving hearts.
Precious things are very few in this world. That is the reason there is just one you.
You make my heart smile. 我的心因你而笑。
The road to a lover's house is never long.
Why do the good girls, always want the bad boys?
Being with you is like walking on a very clear morning.
It is never too late to fall in love.
To the world you may be just one person. To the person you may be the world.
Where there is love, there are always wishes.
You don't love a woman because she is beautiful, but she is beautiful because you love her.
Love is something eternal; the aspect may change, but not the essence.
Love is not a matter of counting the days. It's making the days count.
With the wonder of your love, the sun above always shines.
Love is a fabric that nature wove and fantasy embroidered.
First love is unforgettable all one's life.
In the very smallest cot there is room enough for a loving pair.
Love without end hath no end.

The Apple Tree
A long time ago, there was a huge apple tree. A little boy loved to come and lay around it every day. He climbed to the tree top, ate the apples, took a nap under the shadow... He loved the tree and the tree loved to play with him.
Time went by... the little boy had grown up and he no longer played around the tree every day. One day, the boy came back to the tree and he looked sad. “Come and play with me,” the tree asked the boy. “I am no longer a kid, I don’t play around trees anymore.” The boy replied, “I want toys. I need money to buy them.”“Sorry, but I don’t have money...but you can pick all my apples and sell them. So, you will have money.” The boy was so excited. He grabbed all the apples on the tree and left happily. The boy never came back after he picked the apples. The tree was sad.
One day, the boy returned and the tree was so excited. “Come and play with me,” the tree said. “I don’t have time to play. I have to work for my family. We need a house for shelter. Can you help me?”“Sorry, but I don’t have a house. But you can chop off my branches to build your house.” So the boy cut all the branches off the tree and left happily. The tree was glad to see him happy but the boy never came back since then. The tree was again lonely and sad.
One hot summer day, the boy returned and the tree was delighted. “Come and play with me!” the tree said. “I am sad and getting old. I want to go sailing to relax myself. Can you give me a boat?”“Use my trunk to build your boat. You can sail far away and be happy.” So the boy cut the tree trunk to make a boat. He went sailing and never showed up for a long time. The tree was happy, but it was not true.
Finally, the boy returned after he left for so many years. “Sorry, my boy. But I don’t have anything for you anymore. No more apples for you...” the tree said.
“I don’t have teeth to bite,” the boy replied.
“No more trunk for you to climb on.”
“I am too old for that now,” the boy said.
“I really can’t give you anything... the only thing left is my dying roots,” the tree said with tears.
“I don’t need much now, just a place to rest. I am tired after all these years.” The boy replied.
“Good! Old tree roots is the best place to lean on and rest. Come, Come sit down with me and rest.” The boy sat down and the tree was glad and smiled with tears...
This is a story of everyone. The tree is our parent. When we were young, we loved to play with Mom and Dad... When we grown up, we left them, and only came to them when we need something or when we are in trouble. No matter what, parents will always be there and give everything they could to make you happy. You may think that the boy is cruel to the tree but that’s how all of us are treating our parents.
Take time out during the day for quiet time to listen to your inner voice. You may want to use your quiet time to meditate or pray. However you use this time, the key is to shut out all of the noise around you by focusing deep within yourself. Breathing deeply during quiet time will also help you focus. I know it’s hard to find quiet time during a particularly busy day, but it’s so important — even if it’s just 10 minutes a day and you have to sneak away to get it. Quiet time can really make a difference in your life. It enables you to hear God speaking to your heart reminding you of His perfect love for you.
Be honest with yourself by paying attention to your actions. Actions speak louder than words, and they always tell the truth. What do your actions say about you? If you say you love your job, but your actions say otherwise, which do you think is more true — your words or your actions? On the other hand, if you say you’re not good at a certain job, but your actions say otherwise, that’s also important. What do you do with this insight? You can use it to make more beneficial choices in your life. By being honest with yourself based on your previous actions, your actions moving forward will be based on truth instead of just what you tell yourself.
Despite what your subconscious may be telling you, you can have love with no limits. The key is to unconditionally love yourself first.
