Hence I know that I am responsible for my actions. I will accept this responsibility and play my role honorably. I will not never seek excuses for my weakness. I know I do not understand all the secret springs of the acts of others, hence I will be charitable in my judgments. I know that what I know is to what I don’t know as the number one is to infinity, hence I will try always to be teachable. I know that the past cannot be changed, hence I will make the best of it; and that I cannot control the future, hence I will not worry about it. --------------------- Get our popular 3 books of Life Lessons in paperback and e-book on Amazon.
