2. FAILURE Does not mean (X) It means (4) You are a failure
You have not yet succeeded
You have learned something
You have accom- plished nothing
You have to do it in a different way
You will never be able to do it
You are not perfect
You are inferior
You have to start afresh
You have wasted your life

3. FAILURE Does not mean (X) It means (4) You should try very hard
You should give up
It takes a little longer
You will never achieve
God has a better idea! You will get the idea if you have faith in Him
God has abandoned you

8. When I was an young man, I wanted to change the world.
I found it was difficult to change the world, so I tried to change my nation.
When I found I could’nt change the nation I began to focus on my town.
I couldn’t change the town and as an older man, I tried to change my family.
Now, as an elderly person I realise the only thing I can change is myself.

9. CHANGE – CAN BEGIN ONLY WITHIN AND FROM YOU
And suddenly I realise that if, long ago, I had changed myself, I could have made an impact on my family, My family and I could have made an impact on our town, their impact could have changed the nation.
And I could have changed the world.
- An unknown monk 1100 A.D.
CHANGE – CAN BEGIN ONLY WITHIN AND FROM YOU
