This is the beginning of a new day.
You have been given this day to use as
you will. You can waste it or use it for
good. What you do today is important
because you are exchanging a day of your
life for it. When tomorrow comes, this
day will be gone forever; in its place is
something that you have left behind....
let it be something good.

Effective listening, critical thinking, and expressing our thoughts honestly are the hallmarks of human communications. After all, we’re not monkeys and we’re not supernatural gods with extra-sensory perception, we’re regular people with God-given talent that allows us to be good listeners, speakers, readers and writers. But we have to work at it, and therein lies the rub, we can be enormously ambitious to improve or terribly lazy. It boils down to just a few choices; we are who we are by our own design. Too bad, that doesn’t leave many options! - Larry Welch
