I must be drinking a lot of tea lately, or maybe blogging a little less, because my teabag tags are accumulating.  Some sayings are just too good to throw away, so grab your cup of tea, stretch out your legs, and contemplate the following:

“Youth would be an ideal state if it came a little later in life.” Herbert Henry Asquith (1852-1928)

Ah. So true.  I bet Herbert wrote this quote around the time he turned 50.  It seems that once you hit that age, your kids are grown, you still have your health, you’ve saved up some money to enjoy life a bit more, and you have lots of good memories to ponder.  It also seems to be the time that we are more accepting of life, not striving as much.  What do you think?

“Teachers open the door, but you must enter by yourself.”  Chinese Proverb

Again – another truism.  Although some students and parents might argue that it’s the job of teachers to teach, it’s really the job of students of open their minds to learn.  In life you must take care of yourself.  That includes learning all you can to be the best you can be.

And the final wisdom of the day – one that is so simple, yet sometimes so hard to accept.

“Let things come to you.”  author unknown

There is one word that sums this quote.  Patience.  We all need more patience in life.  With patience, all things are possible.  So open your heart, pursue your dreams, by patient, and let things come to you.

Have a great day!
