    "The AVERAGE PERSON works at 50%

    or LESS of their POTENTIAL.  Your job is to

    UNLEASH that EXTRA 50%."

    Just Be YOU Baoku!
     

    TODAY'S THOUGHT IS ABOUT BEING YOURSELF ...

    “About all you can do in life is BE WHO YOU ARE.

    Some people will LOVE YOU FOR YOU.

    Most will love you for WHAT YOU CAN DO FOR THEM,

    and some WON'T LIKE YOU AT ALL.”

    ~ Rita Mae Brown

    ALWAYS BE A FIRST RATE VERSION OF YOURSELF

    INSTEAD OF A SECOND RATE VERSION OF WHAT

    SOMEONE ELSE WANTS YOU TO BE!

    With LOVE, RESPECT, and PEACE my friend,

    Happy FRIDAY Baoku!

     

    TODAY'S THOUGHT IS ABOUT HAPPINESS ...

    "When I was in grade school, they told me to write down what I wanted to be WHEN I GREW UP.

    I wrote down "HAPPY".

    They told me I didn't UNDERSTAND THE ASSIGNMENT.

    I told them they didn't UNDERSTAND LIFE."

    THE GREATEST HAPPINESS IN LIFE IS TO LOVE

    AND TO BE LOVED IN RETURN!

    Have a BEAUTIFUL WEEKEND Baoku!

     

    TODAY'S THOUGHT IS I LOVE BEING ME ...

    "I can't run the fastest
    I can't swim the sea
    I can't type the quickest
    but I love being me

    I can't kick a ball
    or even climb a tree
    I can't roll in the grass
    but I still love being me

    You see, this is my life
    as others would see
    they don't know what it's like
    to really be me

    So next time I'm about
    rolling down the street
    don't think of me disabled
    but someone cool to meet

    I have lots I can teach you
    I have loads I can share
    you will never gain my wisdom
    if you just point and stare

    So maybe I can't run the fastest
    maybe I can't kick a ball
    but I wouldn't change being me
    not for you, NOT AT ALL."

    Happy New Year Baoku!

     

    TODAY'S THOUGHT IS ABOUT THE NEW YEAR ...

    "Another fresh NEW YEAR is here . . .
    Another year to live!
    To banish worry, doubt, and fear,
    To love and laugh and give!

    This bright new year is given me
    To live each day with zest . . .
    To daily grow and try to be
    My highest and my best!

    I have the opportunity
    Once more to right some wrongs,
    To pray for peace, to plant a tree,
    And SING MORE JOYFUL SONGS!”
