Encouragement

A word of encouragement during a failure is worth more than endless praise after success.

Excellence

If you are content with the best you have done, you will never become the best you can be.

Believe in Your Self

In life you can make your own decisions or let other people make those decisions for you. Being Above The Influence is about staying true to yourself, and not letting people pressure you into being less than you. So be yourself.

Class and Grace by Stephie Pahlavi Zan

Class never runs scared. It is sure-footed and confident, and it can handle whatever comes along. Class has a sense of humor. It knows that a good laugh is the best lubricant for oiling the machinery of human relations. Class never makes excuses. It takes its lumps and learns from mistakes. Class knows that good manners are nothing more than a series of small sacrifices and minor inconveniences. Class bespeaks an aristocracy unrelated to ancestors or money. Some extremely wealthy people have no class at all, while others who are struggling to make ends meet, have a prodigious amount of Class. Class is real. You can't fake it. Class is comfortable in its own skin. It never puts on airs. Class never tries to build itself up by tearing others down. Class is already up and need not attempt to look better by making others look worse. Class can walk with kings and keep its virtue and talk with crowds and keep the common touch. Everyone is comfortable with the person who has class because he is comfortable with himself. If you have class, you've got it made. If you don't have class, no matter what else you have, it won't make up for it.

Forgiveness

Forgiveness frees us from remaining victims of the past.

For Granted

It is strange that those we miss the most are those we take for granted....it is a shame that we do not realize it until it is too late.

New Beginning

Every day is a new beginning. Treat it that way. Stay away from what might have been, and look at what can be.

Negative Emotions

Haters are bitter and angry because they can not ever have the attention and life you have

Stephie Pahlavi Zan

Why Hate?

People hate you for one or more of three reasons. They hate themselves, they want to be you, or they see you as a threat.

Strangers

Its so funny how the people who know the least about you, have the most to say.

Envy

Sometimes people will talk about you when they envy the life you lead. Let them be. You affected their life; don't let them affect yours.

Coming to an End

In the end, it's not so much fear of the unknown; one is afraid of the known coming to an end.

Move Forward

The past is like a ton of bricks holding us back. You have to let go of who you are to become who you will be.

Striving...

No matter how much sorrow or happiness can distort our feelings, we should keep on striving towards our goals, because feelings come and go, whereas the honor which stems from our sweat, stays with us forever.
