Wise Words

Be Wise

Be Wise!Quote: Success - Emerson

"To laugh often and much; to win the respect of intelligent people and the affection of children; to earn the appreciation of honest critics and endure the betrayal of false friends; to appreciate beauty, to find the best in others; to leave the world a little better; whether by a healthy child, a garden patch or a redeemed social condition; to know even one life has breathed easier because you have lived. This is the meaning of success."

-Ralph Waldo Emerson

Be Wise!Help pets handle cold weather

All though they wear their coats all year round, winter is an adjustment for cats and dogs too. Here are some tips from the American Humane Society to keep your pets healthy during the cold winter:

- Keep pets inside when the temperature reaches 30 degrees with the wind-chill. Dogs and cats can get frostbitten ears, nose and feet if left outside.

- If your dog always stays outside make sure it has a dry elevated house with clean, dry bedding and a flap over the opening to keep drafts out. It is a good idea to add dog door to the garage with a soft cushion in the warmest corner.

- Check all outside water bowls throughout the day to make sure they are not frozen.

- The chemicals used to melt snow on the streets and sidewalks can irritate your pet’s paws. Before your pet goes outside, use petroleum jelly on its paws to protect its paws from the deicing materials.

- Make sure a cat hasn’t crawled under your can seeking shelter and warmth near the engine. The cat could get caught in the fan and be seriously injured when the engine starts. Open the hood of your car or slap it noisily with you hand before starting the engine on cold days to startle any animal sleeping there.

Be Wise!Indian Proverb on attaining goals 

When you shoot an arrow for distance, aim high not on the level, for even if it does not go the distance you desired, it will go much farther than it would have if you had shot it on the level.


Be Wise!My Life


The road to success is not straight.

There is a curve called Failure,

A loop called Confusion,

Speed bumps called Friends,

Red lights called Enemies,

Caution lights called Family,

You will have flats called Jobs.

Be Wise!Security Tip: Check the doors

A lock on a flimsy door is about as effective as locking your car door but leaving the window down.

· All outside doors should be metal or solid wood.

· If your doors don't fit tightly in their frames, install weather stripping around them.

· Install a peephole or wide angle viewer in all entry doors so you can see who is outside without opening the door. Door chains break easily and don't keep out intruders.

Be Wise!When more isn't better

Cancer is described as cells that just continue reproducing until the destruction of the host. In this sense, humans could be looked at as a kind of cancer to the host Earth.
