Takes pain, said the window.
Keep cool, said the ice.
Drive hard, said the hammer.
Be up to date, said the calender.
Never be led, said the pencil.
Be sharp, said the knife.
Make light around you, said the fire.
Stick to it, said the glue.
Be bright, said the lamp.
There is no point at which you can say, Well, I'm successful now. I might as well take a nap.

GOOD MORNING !
Do you think you are a successful person? I think that I am still working on it. Just about the time I’ve reached the top, something always happens that lets me know I’ve a long long way to go.
I truly am a work in progress so to speak. I have achieved many milestones on the journey I call my life, but I’m still going strong. Certainly not as strong as I’d like to be yet I’m still on the pathway and many curves and bumps in the road have taken their wear and tear.
We all lead such different lives and have different abilities and purposes. Some are nurses or doctors, some are teachers and lawyers. Some like me are just waiting to retire.
I want to be able to achieve some things I’ve never tried and to enjoy life to the fullest. Opportunities come and go and I’m going to be looking for some new ones coming my way. Oh yes, I am a work in progress for sure.
Tomorrow is a vacation day for me so I’ll be gone now for 3 days. I hope your weekend is one filled with lots of R & R. You’ll all be in my thoughts and prayers.
THOUGHT FOR TODAY
That man is successful
who has lived well, laughed often,
and loved much, who has gained the respect
of the intelligent men and the love of children;
who has filled his niche and accomplished his task;
who leaves the world better than he found it,
whether by an improved poppy,
a perfect poem, or a rescued soul;
who never lacked appreciation of earth's beauty
or failed to express it;
who looked for the best in others
and gave the best he had
Robert Louis Stevenson
