"What Will Matter"

Ready or not, some day it will all come to an end.

There will be no more sunrises, no minutes, hours or days.
All the things you collected, whether treasured or forgotten
will pass to someone else.

Your wealth, fame and temporal power will shrivel to irrelevance.
It will not matter what you owned or what you were owed.
Your grudges, resentments, frustrations
and jealousies will finally disappear.
So too, your hopes, ambitions, plans and to-do lists will expire.
The wins and losses that once seemed so important will fade away.

It won't matter where you came from
or what side of the tracks you lived on at the end.
It won't matter whether you were beautiful or brilliant.
Even your gender and skin color will be irrelevant.

So what will matter?
How will the value of your days be measured?

What will matter is not what you bought
but what you built, not what you got but what you gave.

What will matter is not your success
but your significance.

What will matter is not what you learned
but what you taught.

What will matter is every act of integrity,
compassion, courage, or sacrifice
that enriched, empowered or encouraged others
to emulate your example.

What will matter is not your competence
but your character.

What will matter is not how many people you knew,
but how many will feel a lasting loss when your gone.

What will matter is not your memories
but the memories that live in those who loved you.

What will matter is how long you will be remembered,
by whom and for what.

Living a life that matters doesn't happen by accident.
It's not a matter of circumstance but of choice.

Choose to live a life that matters.

~ Michael Josephson

Here is a poem I found that fits in here, especially for Mother's Day

"Superman's Mom" by Liz Lemon Swindle

Last week I fought a dragon Stron
Then climbed a castle wall.
Too bad I fell from off the roof
Mom's flowers broke my fall.

Then yesterday, I sailed to sea
The pirates at the door.
Too bad the tub was just too small
To keep the ocean off the floor.

Today, I launched a rocket to
The moon for mom to see.
Too bad the wheel came flying off
And so I skinned my knee.

But mom was there to pick me up
And make me feel alright.
Then send me out to save the world
And put my cape on tight.

Someday I'll grow and fly away
Little doesn't last for long.
But when I'm big I won't forget
Even Superman Needs a Mom.

Happy Mother's Day!!

I was watching the season finale of Survivor, and Kat (a player that I really didn't like) said something that made me adore her. She said that she could have been really upset with how other players treated her in the game, but that life is too short to be mad at people and it takes more energy to be angry than to be happy. I couldn't agree more!

"A company is a multidimensional system capable of growth, expansion, and self-regulation. It is, therefore, not a thing but a set of interacting forces. Any theory of organization must be capable of reflecting a company's many facets, its dynamism, and its basic orderliness. When company organization is reviewed, or when reorganizing a company, it must be loked upon as a whole, as a total system."

- Albert Low
Zen and Creative Management

"A system is a network of interdependent components that work together to try to accomplish the aim of the system. A system must have an aim. Without an aim, there is no system. ...A system must be managed. The secret is cooperation between components toward the aim of the organization. We cannot afford the destructive effect of competition."

You can’t change the whole world, and you certainly can’t change other people, but you do have the ability to change yourself. You can have a positive impact in your job, the people with whom you work, and the entire organization…the choice is up to you.

I love this topic and wanted to share. I was having a real bad day about a month or so ago. I was at the grocery store on the phone and I had been crying the lady at the register asked if I was ok and asked if I needed a hug. She came and gave me a hug and it made me feel a ton better. Even though she was a total stranger her kindness really put a smile on my face. As I walked out the store she gave me a piece of paper that she had wrote a little note on and it said:FOR EVERY BAD DAY THERE IS A HUNDRED GOOD ONES, SO THIS BAD MOMENT IS TO 1000 GOOD ONES. This one instant made everything I was going through seem so little. So with that being said. Always smile because you don't know who might be looking and how you could change their day.

Do not expect others to behave in a way you want, so you will be happy. Release yourself forevermore and know that you alone control your happiness and it is a choice, no matter what anyone else is doing.

Feeling is mutual Jade SERIOUSLY !!

My positive thoughts on that are simply that to be a true friend you have to want the best for your friend, even if it goes against your own self interests.

Personally, I'm very happy you have the opportunity to do such things as fly to your home in Brazil and spend quality time with your family !!

My positive thought that I initially came here to list:

I'm okay working for someone who has high expectations and gets frustrated with me when I fail to meet them. Simply because that means he sees something in me which leads him to believe I'm capable of achieving them.

“Never let go of hope. One day you will see that it all has finally come together. What you have always wished for has finally come to be. You will look back and laugh at what has passed and you will ask yourself... 'How did I get through all of that?”

“When we begin to take our failures non-seriously, it means we are ceasing to be afraid of them. It is immense importance to learn to laugh at ourselves.”
Katherine Mansfield quotes (New Zealander Writer, 1888-1923)

I knew it was Mike. I don't actually expect everyone that read to reply here but know that although it's someone else quotes it's how I feel that particular day.
Thank you for being happy for me visiting my family, I wish you could have been home with yours too.
I don't know your boss but I am certain that it is exactly what he think of you [smilie=heart fill with love.gif]
