You have no control

written by Allan Branch on March 8th, 2010

You have no control over where you're born, who your parents are, where they send you to school, how much money they have, the genetic blueprint they give you or the decisions they make over the first years of your life. You have little control over how you look or how "smart" you are or the things you're exposed to while growing up. The only thing you have full control over is how hard you work, how much you put in, how much sweat you give and how many times you smile while doing it.

    Smile – I think that’s the most important part

    And how nice you are to people while you’re doing all that.

    Work hard. Be nice. That’s about it. But it’ll get you everywhere you want to be.

    Allan,

    Please allocate 5% of my monthly fee to put your mother on payroll, and have her comment on your blog posts. @mom you’re great! Hugs to you Mrs. Branch. :D

    Additional, the most important way is to appreciate simple things which can make our life more colorful.
