BE YOURSELF

There's a fun saying that goes like this: “Be yourself – everyone else is taken.” Enjoy your special talents and seek to be an engaged participant, right where you are. You are very special! This is your life.

DUCK FACTS

Some duck species, mainly those breeding in the temperate and Arctic Northern Hemisphere, are migratory; those in the tropics, however, are generally not. Some ducks, particularly in Australia where rainfall is patchy and erratic, are nomadic, seeking out the temporary lakes and pools that form after localised heavy rain. Wikipedia

WISE WORDS

Joan Didion

The willingness to accept responsibility for one's own life is the source from which self-respect springs.

Mary Baker Eddy

Each individual must fill his own niche in time and eternity.

Michael Jordan

I've missed more than nine thousand shots in my career. I've lost almost three hundred games. Twenty–six times I've been trusted to take the game winning shot and missed. I've failed over and over and over again in my life. And that is why I succeed.

NEXT STEPS

Be kind to yourself.

• Meet your own expectations, not those of others'.
• “To thine own self be true.” Shakespeare, Hamlet.
