Four Words

Over the years as I've sought out ideas, principles and strategies to life's challenges, 
I've come across four simple words that can make living worthwhile.

The Four powerful little words: learn, try, stay and care.

1. LEARN - Learning from other people's experiences and mistakes is valuable information 
because we can learn what not to do without the pain of having tried and failed ourselves.
What you don't know WILL hurt you. You have to have learning to exist, let alone succeed. 

Life is worthwhile if you learn from your own experiences - negative or positive. We learn to 
do it right by first sometimes doing it wrong. We call that a positive negative. We could learn 
how someone who had it all then messed it up. 

We learn by what we see so pay attention. 
We learn by what we hear so be a good listener.  
We learn from what we read so learn from every source; learn from lectures; learn from songs; learn 
from sermons; learn from conversations with people who care. 
Always keep learning.

2.TRY- Try to make a difference, Try your best. You can't just keep learning, you have to try something 
to see if you can succced.  

Try to make some progress, 
Try to learn a new skill, 
Try to learn a new sport. 

It doesn't mean you can do everything, but there are a lot of things you can do, if you just try.  

3.STAY- You have to stay until the harvest. 

Stay if you have signed up 
Stay for the day 
Stay for the game 
Stay for the project - see it through. 
Sometimes calamity comes and then it is worth wrapping it up. 
But on this one, if you signed up, see it through.

4.CARE- Care enough to make a difference. Care enough to turn somebody around.
If you care at all you will get some results, if you care enough you can get incredible results. 
 
Care enough to start a new enterprise.  
Care enough to be the highest producer. 
Care enough to set some records. 
Care enough to win.
 
What difference can you make in your life today by putting these words to work?

I wish You Great Success.
