Life is hard ... and not always fair -- Life is also fun ... and incredibly funny -- We live by choice, not by chance -- Attitude is a choice-the most important one you'll ever make -- Habits are the key to all success -- Being thankful is a habit-the best one you'll ever have -- Good people build their lives on a foundation of respect -- Honesty is still the best policy -- Kind words cost little but accomplish much -- Real motivation comes from within -- Goals are dreams with deadlines -- There's no substitute for hard work -- You have to give up something to get something -- Successful people don't find time-they make time -- No one else can raise your self-esteem -- The body needs nutrition and exercise-so do the mind and spirit -- It's ok to fail-everyone else has -- Life is simpler when we know what's essential -- Essential #1 is being a good person.
Subject: Life's Greatest Lessons is a wise, wonderful book. In it, Hal Urban, a parent and an award-winning teacher, presents twenty principles that are as deeply rooted in common sense as they are in compassion. The topics, gathered from a lifetime of teaching both children and adults, span a wide range of readily understood concepts, including attitudes about money, understanding the real meaning of "success," and the importance of having fun. The book will help you find the best-in the world, in others, and in yourself. Classic in its simplicity and enduring in its appeal, Life's Greatest Lessons helps us all rediscover that the desire to live a good life is timeless. https://www.amazon.com/Lifes-Greatest-Lessons-Things-Matter/dp/074323782X/ref=sr_1_1?keywords=9780743237826&qid=1575349168&sr=8-1
