Words to live better by for 2010
By Harvey Mackay

They don’t pay off an effort… they pay off on results.
No one ever chocked swallowing his or her pride.
Don’t just mark time; use time to make your mark.
People don’t plan to fail, they fail to plan.
Technology should improve your life, not become your life.
The best way to be somebody is just to be yourself.
The best vitamin for making friends is B1.
It is not a question as to who is right but what is right.
The difference between failure and success is doing a thing nearly right and doing it exactly right.
Many people hear… but few people listen.
There is no free tuition in the school of experience.
The person who has no goal does not fear failure.
The best way to get even is to forget.
It is better to forgive and forget than to resent and remember.
Make decisions with your heart, and you’ll wind up with heart disease.
People have a way of becoming what you encourage them to be- not what you nag them to be.
You can win more friends with your ears than with your mouth.
When you kill a little time, you may be murdering opportunity.
Education is an investment and never an expense.
Ideas won’t work unless I do.
Its never right to do wrong, and its never wrong to do right.
Your smile is more important than anything you wear.
Gratitude shouldn’t be an occasional incident but a continuous attitude.
Helping someone up won’t pull you down.
Those that have the most to say usually say it with the fewest words.
If you don’t learn from your mistakes, there’s no sense in making them.
People wrapped up in themselves make pretty small packages.
When is the last time you did something for the first time?
Smart is believing half of what you hear; brilliant is knowing which half to believe.
One thing I can give and still keep is my word.
Those who beef too much often land in the stew.
Compromise is always wrong when it means sacrificing principle.
A stumble may prevent a fall.
The moral: Not just words to live by, words to live better. Happy 2010
