“That which we persist in

doing becomes easier to do,

not that the nature of the

thing has changed but that

our power to do has

increased.”

Ralph Waldo Emerson

Reflection: When we do something over and over 

again we get better and better. Not because the thing we are trying to achieve has gotten easier, but we have grown mentally and/or physically by the experience. So when next time when we face a  challenge.

When You Tell One Lie by Paul Hatch

When you tell one lie. it leads to another
So you tell two lies to cover each other
Then you tell three lies and, Oh Brother,
You're in trouble up to your ears!

So you tell four lies to try to protect you
Then you tell five lies so folks won't suspect you
Then you tell six lies and you'll collect
A life filled with worries and fears

 'Cause you can't remember how many lies you've told
And half the things you say aren't true
And sometime you'll slip up, you'll trip up and then
Whatever will become of you?

So you lie and lie without even trying
And each lie you tell will keep multiplying

'Till the whole wide world will know you're lying
Then you'll be
Suspected
Detected
Rejected
Neglected
Disliked
And you should!
When you lie, you're closing the door
On everything good

“Your worth consists in what you are not in what you have.”

Thomas Edison, Inventor

Reflection: I believe what he is trying to say is that no matter what we have that doesn't contribute to what we are, we can have the latest I-Phone or shoes but that has nothing to do with what we are and do.
