Some people are like wheels-they don·t work unless they·re pushed.

Some people are like trailers-they have to be pulled.

Some people are like kites-always up in the air and if you don·t keepa string on them, they fly away.

Some people are like canoes-they have to be paddled.

Some people are like footballs- you never know which way they are

going to bounce next.

Some people are like balloons-always puffed up, and you never know

when they are going to blow up.

Some people are like flat tires-they have to be jacked up.

Some people are like good watches- pure gold, open-faced, always

on time, dependable, quietly busy and just full of good works.

DIFFERENT PERSONALITIES, DIFFERENT CHARACTERS

HOW DO YOU DEAL?

People are unreasonable, illogical, and self-centered.

Love them anyway.

If you do good, people will accuse you of having a hidden

agenda. Do good anyway.

If you are successful, you will win false friends and true enemies.

Succeed anyway.

Honesty and frankness make you vulnerable. Be honest and

 frank anyway.

The good you do today will be forgotten tomorrow.

Do good anyway.

The biggest people with the smallest minds can shoot down the

smallest people with the biggest ideas. Think big anyway.

People favor underdogs but only follow top dogs. Fight for some

underdogs anyway.

You spend years building what may be destroyed overnight.

Build anyway.
