Humility: Think Global !!

“Never take a leaf or move a pebble without asking permission. Always ask permission. That maintains the balance and teaches humility. That leaf you want to pluck could be far more important than the little purpose you have in mind. You don’t know — so ask permission first.
-Don José Matsuwa
 Today, acknowledge your limitations, and seek input from other people on a problem or project. 

Humility basically means the state of being humble.. To qualify as a humble human being, I believe you must be sensible not only to every individual around you, but to the environment around you as well. 
Together, humility will help us to establish a sustainable environment!

The greatest ability is Dependability

The greatest ability is Dependability !
Dependability is a very important value in individuals. It not only shows a person's integrity, but it shows his/hers faithfulness, honesty, and trustfulness. Without dependability being an important characteristic, we would have many shallow and mindless friends.
Being dependable is defined as being trustworthy. If you are dependable, you are believable and reliable. A dependable person persists or endures in a responsibility until the job is complete.Twentieth century child psychologist Haim Ginott said, “How can we help a child change from undependable to dependable, from a mediocre student to a capable student, from someone who won’t amount to very much to someone who will count for something. The answer is at once both simple and complicated: We treat a child as if he already is what we would like him to become.

Don't plan your life away; enjoy the trees(:

So I will start off with the definition of planning. Planning is the process of setting goals , developing strategies, and outlining tasks and schedules to accomplish the goals: as it informs us within the Google search.(;
Though it is both important and necessary to have a reasonably organized lifestyle, in my opinion people become too caught up in planning out their whole lives, that they don't truly get to enjoy their time. Life is indeed short, and deserving of an equal amount of planned days and spontaneous days.
This topic reminds me of a poem that portrays a message of simple living without everyday planning, and with more realizing.


Forward Planning
Bright autumn leaves like butterflies
are gaily dancing in the breeze.
Until they fall; no more to rise
and coat the ground beneath the trees.
In carpets of rich autumn hues
Which will soon fade to neutral brown.
The time has come for trees to lose
their leaves and cast them down.
As they prepare for winters rule.
Returning to the earth again
their useless leaves to use a fuel.
Which when spring comes will help sustain.
The sudden burst of energy
that is required by every tree.
