You're A Plain Idiot!

You’re a plain idiot!
That’s the notion of shallow minded individuals,
They kept on accusing and judging foolishly,
But are they qualify to judge a man?

They continue to laugh
They continue to shout,
You’re a plain idiot!
You’re a plain idiot!

The great men of the ages
Gen. Wellington, Goldsmith, Dr. Chalmers, Dr. Isaac Barrow, Samuel Drew, Demosthenes, Charles Dickens, Napoleon Hill, and Thomas Alva Edison
Were been victimized by accusation, you’re a plain idiot!
But was this prediction is accurate?

Wake up young man, wake up!
Stop on doubting,
Stop on weeping,
Have faith and believe in yourself!

Yes, have faith and believe in yourself!
Remember faith sees the invisible,
Believes the unbelievable,
And achieve the impossible.

Beginning today, says these words to yourself
I am the master of my fate,
I am the master of my destiny,
And I can excel in this land!

Yes, you can excel in this land
If you just learned from mistakes of the past.
Keep on dreaming and improving with your being,
So you can change your destiny and conquer the impossible.

Remember the Loving God
Does not give you the spirit of negativism,
He does not give you the spirit of cowardness,
Instead He gave you the spirit of love, humility, courage,enthusiasm, persitence, and determination.

Always bear these in mind
That the world is cruel to those who cannot help themselves. But the world is also kind to those who keep on dreaming, working, aiming high, and improving with their being.

Remember! Never to waste time thinking
What others think about you,
Because you will have little time left to think,
What you think about yourself.

Remember! If you really want to be a successor in life
Don’t look and wait to anyone to motivate you,
But look at your inner soul,
As it’s your best motivator!

Finally, God and I reminds you
Motivate your mind to think positively,
Have faith and believe in yourself,
Act now for you are not a plain idiot instead a unique individual!

Wish you many blessings to come and God bless!

My 14 Vows of Success

Dear Lord, thank you that today you wake-up my mind from a depth sleep. Thank you for reminding me that today is the preparation of my future success. Thank you for helping me to realize that life is full of hardships, pains, sorrows, and trials. Then, the only way to beat these odds is to face and take it as a challenge of life and so just continue on improving myself. Therefore, beginning today dear Lord, I will not waste my time for idleness, laziness, cowardness, and timidity instead I will use it as an opportunity for the improvement of my being.

Beginning today, I will take charge of my mind. I’ve learned from my life experiences that if I think a negative, the result is always a negative. But If I think a positive, the result is always a positive.

Beginning today, I will take charge of my mouth. I’ll be careful and tactful in my words when I am engaging in conversation with my beloved fellow human being. I know that life and death is in the power of the tongue.

Beginning today, I will take good care of my health. For it is my only investment and tools to reach my goals and dreams in life.

Beginning today, I will take charge of my emotions. Everyday, I will motivate myself to act as an educated and emotionally mature individual. If happened that I encountered insult and disappointment, I will just remind myself that this too, shall pass!

Beginning today, I will put the others first and serve them honestly with love and care. For these are my only chance to share the love, kindness and blessings from Above.

Beginning today, I will teach myself to be compassionate, humble, lovable, and open-minded in dealing with people. I’ve learned from the counsels and writings of the great men of the ages that being a compassionate, humble, lovable, and open-minded person is the best cure in healing of the old wounds of the broken-hearted. That can help to cast out the doubts, feeling of inferiority and hatred in their hearts and minds. It can also be the best technique in winning the hearts of the wicked men and eventually to become his friend.

Beginning today, I will teach myself the importance of hard work, honesty, sincerity, time management, frugality, initiative, planning, creativeness, determination, patience, persistence, enthusiasm, cooperation, extra mile, faith, and trust in myself. For these are the secret of success in any field of works.

Beginning today, I will embrace all the hardships, pains, sorrows, and trials as a challenge and stepping-stone for success. Trials are medicines which my Loving God prescribed because I need them. He proportions the frequency and weight of them to what the case requires. Therefore, let me trust His skill, and eventually thank Him for His prescription.

Beginning today, I will nurture my character. For my character is the only shield to protect and cover my reputation against the trap and honey words of the wicked individuals.

Beginning today, I will improve myself. I will encourage and teach myself the importance of self-respect and self-discipline. For these are the foundations of success.

Beginning today, I will treasure the importance of reading good books. Books are the best, wise, patient mentors, professors of all any colleges and universities in the world. Books are the best source of knowledge and wisdom. It can help me to become more discerning, depth and great thinker.

Beginning today, I will practice to have my own originality. Today is my only chance that I can prove and show to the world that I am a unique man created by the loving hands of the Almighty God. That have has a mission and vision to fulfill. To plant the seeds of my uniqueness and productivity in this land!

Beginning today, I will remove from my words and vocabulary such words and phrases: defeat, failure, improvable, impossible, hopeless, and retreat for these are the words and vocabulary of the fools and losers.

Finally, beginning today, I will make my Loving God as a partner in every plans and decisions of life. With Him, I can do all things that others think and sees it is impossible!

Now, with these precious short 14 vows of success in my hands, If I just diligently follow each precept daily and put it in my heart and mind, surely! I’ll be the most happiest and successful person in the future.

Wish you many blessings to come and God bless!

If you are wise, you should give enough time others to clarify before you justify.

If you are wise, you should learn to cultivate yourself as well as practice encouragement instead of discouragement.
If you are wise, you should learn as well as teach yourself to be patient in dealing with people. Remember, you are not dealing with a people of logic but you are dealing with a people of emotions too!

If you are wise, you should learn and teach yourself to manage as well as control your temper.

If you are wise, you should learn to hold as well as manage your tongue not to back fight, criticize, gossip, condemn and insult other people.

Remember criticizing that is a mark of an inferior person. A real wise person has no time in back fighting, criticizing, condemning, gossiping and insulting other people. They are busy in cultivating and improving themselves and helping the lowly ones.

If you are wise, do not snub people. A real wise person did not snub but greet people with a sweet smile.

If you are wise, be honest in giving praises. Do not give a flattering answer or else people will hate and mock at you!

If you are wise, remain humble instead of being proud. Remember, God mocked the proud but He lifted up the humble.

If you are wise, do not praise yourself in front of the people. Let people praise you, not yourself!

If you are wise, you should be careful as well as watchful in your character. For your character will be your only weapon against the bad tongues of negative, toxic people.

If you are wise, be an open-minded person. Remember, there is more hope to the fools than to the close-minded individuals!

If you are wise, you should continue feeding your mind with fresh knowledge and wisdom. Remember knowledge is power. No knowledge, no power!

If you are wise, you should encourage as well as teach yourself to value other people. Remember no man is an Island!

If you are wise, cultivate yourself to have your own originality. I’ve learned and discovered that one of the greatest mistakes of the young people nowadays is a lack of originality!

If you are wise, you should practice being kind to yourself as well as to other people. Always bear in mind that the hardest things to give is kindness, it’s always comes back to the giver!

Finally, if you are wise, cultivate as well as teach yourself to put God in the center and everything will come together.

That’s it!

If You Are Wise!


Wish you many blessings to come and God Bless!

Never attempt to delete those words in your heart and mind,
For that is a valuable treasure,

To plant and spread seeds of your uniqueness, and productivity in this land.

Welcome it with an open-mind,
For these can also help and guide you to become a well-grown individual.

If you have an enemy, remember never to hate him,
When you hate him, you give him power over you.
Power over your thinking, your sleep, your health and happiness,
Your hatred is not hurting him at all; it only turns your days and nights into a hellish turmoil.

Always be true to yourself!
Remember that the best strategy to deal an enemy –
Pray, love, forgiveness, humility, open-mindedness, reconciliation, smile, tactfulness, and service.
Start now to apply those precepts in yourself,
So you can be able to win favor from God and live at peace with your enemy.

As you travel in the games of life, always remember to think innovation of your being.
For that’s the one and only keys to excel in this land.
Remember that a gifted man will stand before kings,
A simple man will serve the skilled and kings!

Therefore, always be true to yourself!
Remember God love you so much!
He cares and believes in you!
That’s why, ALWAYS BE TRUE TO YOURSELF!

Wish you many blessings to come and God bless!
