　　We have learnt to expect that trains will be punctual. after years of pre-conditioning, most of us have developed an unshakable faith in railway time-tables. ships may be delayed by storms; air flights may be cancelled because of bad weather; but trains must be on time. only an exceptionally heavy snow fall might temporarily dislocate railway services. it is all too easy to blame the railway authorities when something does go wrong. the truth is that when mistakes

　　Occur, they are more likely to be ours than theirs.

　　After consulting my railway time-table, i noted with satisfaction that there was an express train to westhaven. it went direct from my local station and the journey lasted a mere hour and seventeen minutes. when i boarded the train, i could not help noticing that a great many local people got on as well. at the time, this did not strike me as odd. i reflected that there must be a great many people besides myself who wished to take advantage of this excellent service. neither was i surprised when the train stopped at widley, a tiny station a few miles along the line. even a mighty express train can be held up by signals. but when the train dawdled at station after station, i began to wonder. it suddenly dawned on me that this express was not roaring down the line at ninety miles an hour, but barely chugging along at thirty. one hour and seventeen minutes passed and we had not even covered half the distance. i asked a passenger if this was the westhaven express, but he had not even heard of it. i determined to lodge a complaint as soon as we arrived. two hours later, i was talking angrily to the station-master at westhaven. when he denied the train's existence, i borrowed his copy of the time-table. there was a note of triumph in my voice when i told him that it was there in black and white. glancing at it briefly, he told me to look again. a tiny asterisk conducted me to a footnote at the bottom of the page. it said: 'this service has been suspended.'

　　It was a sunny Saturday afternoon in Oklahoma City. My friend and proud father Bobby Lewis was taking his two little boys to play miniature golf. He walked up to the fellow at the ticket counter and said, How much is it to get in?

　　The young man replied, $3.00 for you and $3.00 for any kid who is older than six. We let them in free if they are six or younger. How old are they?

　　Bobby replied, The lawyer's three and the doctor is seven, so I guess I owe you $6.00.

　　The man at the ticket counter said, Hey, Mister, did you just win the lottery or something? You could have saved yourself three bucks. You could have told me that the older one was six; I wouldn't have known the difference. Bobby replied, Yes, that may be true, but the kids would have known the difference.

　　As Ralph Waldo Emerson said, Who you are speaks so loudly I can't hear what you're saying. In challenging times when ethics are more important than ever before, make sure you set a good example for everyone you work and live with.

　　The courage of life is often a less dramatic spectacle than the courage of a final moment; but it is no lessa magnificent mixture of triumph and tragedy. A man does what he must in spite of personal consequences，in spite of obstacles and dangers and pressures and that is the basis of all human morality.

　　To be courageoushellip;requires no exceptional qualifications，no magic formula，no special combination of time，place and circumstance.It is an opportunity that sooner or later is presented to us all. Politics merely furnishes one arena which imposes special tests of courage.In whatever arena of life one may meet the challengeof courage，whatever may be the sacrifices he faces if he follows his conscience，the loss of his friends，his fortune，his contentment， even the esteem of his fellow men，each man must decide for himself the course he will follow. The stories of past courage can define that ingredient，they can teach，they can offer hope，they can provide inspiration.But they cannot supply courage itself. For this each man must look into his own soul.

　　To a large degree, the measure of our peace of mind is determined by how much we are able to live in the present moment. Irrespective of what happened yesterday or last year, and what may or may not happen tomorrow, the present moment is where you are -- always!

　　Without question, many of us have mastered the neurotic art of spending much our lives worrying about a variety of things -- all at once. We allow past problems and future concerns to dominate our present moments,so much that we end up anxious,frustrated, depressed, and hopeless. On the flip side, we also postpone our gratification, our stated priorities, and our happiness, often convincing ourselves future will be better than today. Unfortunately, the same mental dynamics that tell us to look toward the future will only repeat themselves so thatsomeday never actually arrives. John Lennon once said,Life is what~ s happening while were busy making other plans. When were busy making other plans, our children are busy growing up, the people we love are moving away and dying, our bodies are getting out of shape, and our dreams are slipping away. In short, we miss out on life.

　　Many people live as if life were a dress rehearsal for some later date. It isn't. In fact, no one has a guarantee that he or she will be here tomorrow. Now is the only time we have, and the only time that we have any control over. When our attention is in the present moment, we push fear from our minds. Fear is the concern over events that might happen in the future -- we won't have enough money, our children will get into trouble, we will get old and die, whatever.
