Take Time: Take time to think-
It is the source of all power. Take time to read- It is the fountain of wisdom.
Take time to play- It is the source of perpetual youth. Take time to be quiet- It is the opportunity to seek God.
Take time to be aware- It is the opportunity to help others. Take time to love and be loved- It is God?s greatest gift.
Take time to laugh- It is the music of the soul. Take time to be friendly- It is the road to happiness.
Take time to dream- It is what the future is made of. Take time to pray- It is the greatest power on earth.
Take time to give- It is too short a day to be selfish. Take time to work- It is the price of success. There is a time for everything. . . .[Ecclesiastes 3:1-8]Bible

"One of the commonest mistakes and one of the costliest is thinking that success is due to some genius, some magic ? something or other which we do not possess.

It depends upon how much pluck and perseverance that word ?decide? contains. The decision that nothing can overrule, the grip that nothing can detach will bring success.
