Thought For The Day

This is the true joy in life,
being used for a purpose recognized by
yourself as a mighty one;

Being a force of nature instead of a feverish, selfish
little clod of ailments and grievances, complaining that
the world will not devote itself to making me happy.

I am of the opinion that my life belongs to the whole community
and as long as I live,
It is my privilege to do for it whatever I can.

I want to be thoroughly used up when I die,
for the harder I work, the more I live.
I rejoice in life for its own sake.

Life is no "brief candle" to me.
It is a sort of splendid torch which I have got hold of for a moment,
and I want to make it burn as brightly as possible before handing it
on to future generations.



---- George Bernard Shaw
