Wicked Cross To Bear By Londa R. Marks

Every 'thinking-big' book I've ever read says to give back; some say give 10% of what you make, but I say do something instead, kind of like teaching someone to fish instead of giving them fish or instead of 'sharing' or reposting yellow or pink ribbons etcetera to your Facebook page which does absolutely nothing for anyone. Two great quotes above say a lot. Two of the truest statements ever! They coincide with an anonymous message I recently received saying: “Don’t keep doing things for 'them,' they don’t do anything for you, nor will they. Set limits for yourself, 'they' are takers.” It's interesting how two sentences can say everything about a person. I didn't respond simply because I believe I am successful due to opposite thinking. The preference is to find the positive in things because I wish to live in a Persian Paradise either through philanthropic gestures or my own imagination rather than Hades. Either way, my way, does not include negativity, anger and vengeance. Philanthropic gesture is not about expecting something from anyone you do something for. Far from it. Interestingly though, any time I do something for anyone, I always learn or become inspired from it in some unexpected way and in turn I hope that my gestures could help someone as well! Always, it comes back to you no matter whether you do good or bad. The bad comes back just like the good. Probably the most important thing is how you handle failure because that is where you either go up a level or downward spiral. For me, I just improve when someone dislikes what I do. The truth is that those who hate are basically saying, "they hate who or what they are not." It's a wicked cross to bear.

Never let someone who has done nothing tell you how to do anything.

How you deal with failure determines how you achieve success.
