A Little Crystal of Thought for Every Day in the Week

SUNDAY

Most of us could manage to be fairly happy if we really tried to make the best of things.

MONDAY

Don't get depressed even if things do seem to be going wrong at the moment. Depression will make matters worse rather than better. If you do your duty faithfully, the sun is sure to shine again sometime.

TUESDAY

Many people pride themselves on their plain speaking. An ability to put things pleasantly is really far more valuable. Even fault-finding can be pleasantly done.

WEDNESDAY

It always seems to me that God is probably less anxious that we should fulfil our tasks in life than that we should do our best.

THURSDAY

Of the people who complain most bitterly that they have "no chance" probably a very small proportion would do great things if great opportunities came. "No chance" is a very old excuse.

FRIDAY

Don't give way to selfishness – that detestable vice that we all find it so difficult to forgive in others.

SATURDAY

Even if you don't like your work, try to do it well. It may lead on to your true vocation.
