What People Won’t Forget

1094302_3_friends_4

People may forget how fast you’ve finished something,
but they won’t forget how well you did it.
People may forget how famous you were,
but they won’t forget how generous you’ve been.
People may forget the medals you’ve won,
but they won’t forget how fairly you played the game.

People forget their idols and their kings,
but they never forget their friends.
People forget how many times you’ve tried,
but they remember how many times you rose again.

People forget your blunders,
those things you thought made you look foolish and weak.
All that they remember is your humility,
and your courage to carry on to the end.

There are many things that people forget.
There are many things people would rather forget.
But three things are legacies that always remain:
A kind hand that touched them,
an encouraging word that gave them hope,
and a life sacrificed willingly
for those who think they never deserved it at all.

Are you searching for hope? Download the e-book today - "Where Hope Can Be Found". The thing about hope is that it’s a positive force that shines the most when it’s dark. When everything’s going well, we hardly notice it’s there. But when things go against us, when our dreams fade and when we see no immediate reprieve from our troubles, that’s when hope does its best work for us.

Thank you for another informative website. Where else could I get that type of information written in such an ideal way? I have a project that I am just now working on, and I have been on the look out for such info.

For many of us, we have lost something or someone that was
priceless in our lives and we wondered why we had to go through
such pains. The city sieges themselves, which were supposed
to be one of the most epic elements of the Rv –
R content, were instead instanced zones with ~50 people per side.
Armstrong invented a system for eliminating noise caused by the power of the waves.
A good introductory meditation is to focus on a point in a
stream as viewed from a bridge. From trying to get honors, recognition, success,
power, achievements to giving my time, talents, enthusiasm to others and the world.
