Hello dear friends!
The weekend is not only for enjoying, but also for self-improvement. Here is a motivational piece by Napoleon Hill:
Let me be open-minded on all subjects so that I may grow mentally and spiritually.
May the time never come when I will be above learning from the humblest person.
Let me never forget that a closed mind is a narrow mind.
May I never fall into the bad habit of expressing opinions on any subject unless they are founded upon reasonably dependable knowledge.
Forbid that I should ever find fault with anyone because he may not agree with my opinions on any subject.
Restrain me always, Oh Power of Reason, from speaking out of turn, where I have not been invited to speak.
May I always show a wholesome respect for those with whom I may not agree.
Keep me ever reminded that the thing I know best is that I know too little about anything; that the sum total of knowledge acquired by the whole of mankind is not enough to justify any man in boasting of his knowledge.
Give me the courage to admit that I do not know when I am asked a question about which I know but little or nothing.
May I always share willingly such humble knowledge as I may possess which could be of help to others.
And never let me forget that humility of the heart will attract more friends that will all the wisdom of mankind.
Let me remain always a student, in search of truth, and may I never pretend to be a finished scholar on any subject.
And may I always remember that the greatest of all privileges is that of expressing tolerance by example.
Give me some good books, some loyal friends with whom I dare to be myself, and never let me forget the words, “Hope, Faith, and Charity.”
