Your mind is probably way ahead of me, but this is how I see it.

 

YOUR MIND
 
Someone once said,
 
“Your mind is your greatest asset,
 it’s also your greatest weapon.”
 
Learning to know the difference
just might be your greatest lesson.
 
Always keep an open mind and an open heart.
Be receptive to new ideas and fresh thinking.
 
Be wise to the ways of the world.
Be aware of your  surroundings
and wary of your adversaries.
 
Think before you speak.
Stand for something.
In addition to that.
 
Be respectful.
Be truthful.
Be honest.
Be loyal.
Be wise.
Be right.
Be careful.
Be prepared.
Be humble.
Be brave.
Be kind.
Be happy.
 
And
 
Love someone.
Hear the music
Smell the flowers.

That's some laundry list of truths. Right now there is no music here at the office (no music allowed) but I can smell tuna fish because I ate a can for lunch and its aromatic qualities are rising from my trash can. Patrick

The beauty of mankind is that like snowflakes no two people are identical not even twins. We all have our own unigue minds, hearts and souls and your words definately act as a wonderfull reminder to use all three to the best of our own abilities. Well done Richard.
