What the world needs
by Josiah Gilbert Holland

The world needs young men and women who cannot be bought; whose word is their bond; who put their character above wealth, who possess opinions and a will; who are larger than their vocation; who do not hesitate to take chances.

The world needs young men and women who will not lose their individuality in a crowd; who will be as honest in small things as in great things; who will make no compromise with wrong; whose ambitions are not confined to their own selfish desires.

The world needs young men and women who will not say they do it because everybody else does it; who are true to their friends through good report and evil report; in adversity as well as prosperity; who do not believe that shrewdness, cunning, and hard headedness are the best qualities for winning, who are not ashamed to stand for the truth when it is unpopular.

The world needs young men and women who say no with emphasis, though the rest of the world says yes.


When i read this, i thought of jess buddy!! (:
had a real nice time praying with my buddy for every person in class, plus some teachers and other friends. (: it was realll nice... (: finally we managed to get down to praying for everyone!

and today we were totally nuts at math tuition! we tried to convince brandon that we were going to fight the crocodiles, gorillas and dust bunnies in his house, and we went exploring their basement and shouting down the stairs. hahaha, so funny, and we practised all our tarbet cheers in the living room while waiting for them since both of them were MTians (: haha, so funny! and we ran around until we were so hot by the time they were ready for tuition. hahaha



anyway, some other nice quotes again from my great qt book! such nice stuff should be shared!! (: haha



When God measures a man, He puts the tape around the heart, not around the head
-Author unknown

Good character is more to be praisd than outstanding talent. Most talents are, to some extent, a gift. Good character, by contrast, is not given to us. We have to build it, piece by piece- by thought, by choice, courage and determination.
- H. Jackson Browne

Talents are best nurtured in solitude; character is best formed in the stormy billows of the world.
- Johann Wolfgang von Geothe





Dear God,

teach me to love like You do, and make my heart bigger! so i can fit more people inside. I pray that I will use what i have and who i am to bless those around me, not be discouraged by what I cannot achieve, but rather, to look even more to You. Let nothing drive me away from You, but always draw me closer to You.

Amen


love love!
