On one container he wrote "thank you" and on the other "you fool". He then instructed school children to say the labels on the jars out loud everyday when they passed them by.

ATTITUDE : By Charles Swindoll

“The longer I live the more I realize the impact of attitude on life. Attitude, to me, is more important than facts. It is more important than the past, than education, than money, than circumstances,

ATTITUDE : By Charles Swindoll, cont.

than failure, than successes, than what other people think or say or do. It is more important than appearance, giftedness or skill. It will make or break a company…a church…a home. The remarkable thing is that we have a choice every day regarding the attitude we will embrace for that day.

We cannot change our past, we cannot change the fact that people will act in a certain way. We cannot change the inevitable. The only thing we can do is play on the one string we have, and that is our attitude. I am Convinced that life is 10% what happens to me, and 90% how I react to it. And so it is with you…. we are in charge of our attitude.”

ATTITUDE : By Charles Swindoll, cont.

Don’t worry about things that are out of your control

"So you think that you're a failure, do you? Well, you probably are. What's wrong with that? In the first place, if you've any sense at all you must have learned by now that we pay just as dearly for our triumphs as we do for our defeats. Go ahead and fail. But fail with wit, fail with grace, fail with style. A mediocre failure is as insufferable as a mediocre success. Embrace failure! Seek it out. Learn to love it. That may be the only way any of us will ever be free."

~ Tom Robbins

"

You know, the fact is, that most people who do great things in this world are not geniuses—they are often not more gifted than many others. The difference is that these people have the courage to live the life they were called to live: it's not that they are never afraid--it's that they don't run from their fear: they invite it in, get into it, own it, and it loses its power over them. As you meet resistance, you will discover strength, beauty, depth, you never knew you had. "
