Life Quotes That Will Help You To Succeed in 2018

As we draw the curtain on 2017, I've taken time to reflect on this year, vis-a-vis my successes (gains) and failures (mistakes). This has led to me to think through what hs been my motivation through the months.

Words they say, never fade away. They last a lifetime. Even the Holy Bible says heaven and earth will pass away but God's word will remain the same. Against this backdrop, I'll like to share a few quotes that have kept me going and focused as well as helped overcome certain obstacles I've had to face. These few positive and motivational quotes have been my inspiration and have guided as well as guarded my thoughts over the years. Sharing they say is caring. Here are a few life quotes that would be helpful to you in 2018;

I'll end with this humorous story " After World War II, a general and his young lieutenant boarded a train in England. The only seats left were across from  a beautiful young lady and her grandmother. The general and the lieutenant sat facing the women. As the train pulled out, it went through a dark tunnel. For about ten seconds there was total darkness. In the silence of the moment, two sounds were heard- a kiss and a slap. Now, everyone had his or her perception of what had transpired.

The Grandmother thought to herself, "I'm angry that the young man kissed my daughter but I'm happy that she retaliated."

The Young Lady said to herself "I'm flattered that the General would kiss me but I'm a bit embarassed that Grandmother would slap."

The General sat there thinking to himself "My lieutenant showed a lot of courage in kissing that girl but why did she slap me by mistake?"

The lieutenant was the only one who knew whay truly went down. In the brief moment of darkness, he kissed a girl and slapped a general.

Moral of the story: Things are not always we think they are. 

To everyone reading this, I wish you a Blessed and Favoured New Year in advance.
