When it comes to changing the world…

“You might not be able to change the world, but when you change your world, you will have taken a major step in changing the world of others, many of whom you will never know, by the words and deeds you do.  Dr. James Maxwell says the average person impacts more than ten thousand people in his or her lifetime.  That’s significant.”   -Ziglar Over the Top

Pearls…

I came across this story today with reading Success Through a Positive Mental Attitude by Napoleon Hill and Clement Stone.

“The pearl is formed in an oyster when a foreign object, like a grain of sand, is stuck in the oyster.  If the foreign object does not kill the oyster, nature covers the object with the same secretion that forms the mother-of-pearl lining of the oyster’s shell.”
