EIGHT WORDS TO LIVE BY

The following is a list comprised by Earl Nighingale:

HONESTY
It means honesty in everything we do or say; honesty as a way of life.

WORKMANSHIP
It means doing a job as well as we can do it without becoming obsessed with it. It's saying, "Everything I do I will to the best of my ability."

AMBITION
It means string toward something we believe to be worthwhile.

FAITH
It makes everything work, and faith in ourselves and what we believe in is the driving power of ambition.

EDUCATION
The better out education - the broader the more comprehensive our knowledge - the better, the richer, the more interesting our lives become.

CHARITY
It's more than giving -- it's an attitude; it's understanding that the more more we share, the more we get. The more we help and lift up others, the more we are helped and lifted up ourselves.

COURAGE
It turns darkness into bright daylight; problems into possibilities.

RESPONSIBILITY
For others and our lives.
