Thought of the Week

"A laugh, to be joyous, must flow from a joyous heart,
for without kindness, there can be no true joy."
- Thomas Carlyle


How to be Happy through Rich or Poor


A canoe trip is like the voyage of life.
An old 'un ought to hand on piloting hints.
The only true Success is Happiness
Two steps to Happiness are: Taking life as a game and giving out Love
The Burmese are an examples of a happy people.
Happiness is not mere pleasure nor the outcome of wealth.
It is the result of active work rather than the passive enjoyment of pleasure.
Your success depends on your own individual effort in the voyage of life,
And the avoidance of certain dangerous Rocks.
Self-education, in continuation of what you have learned at school, is necessary.
Go forward with confidence.
Paddle your own canoe!"

- Lord Baden-Powell of Gilwell, Founder of the Scout Movement
Rovering to Success, 1922
