Proverbs 1:8

Words of wisdom delivered by my father:

"The longer I live, the more that I realize the impact of attitude on life. Attitude, to me, is more important than facts. It is more important than the past, than education, than money, then circumstances, than failures, than success, than what other people think or say or do. It is more important than appearance, giftedness, or skill. It will make or break a company ... a church ... a home. The remarkable thing is that we have a choice every day regarding the attitude we embrace for that day. We cannot change our past ... we can not change the fact that people will act a certain way. We can not change the inevitable. The only thing that we can do is play on the one string we have, and that is our attitude. I am convinced that life is 10% what happens to me and 90% how I react to it. And so it is with you ... we are in charge of our attitudes." (Charles Swindoll)



Listen, my son, to your father's instruction and do not forsake your mother's teaching. (Proverbs 1:8)
