THE ACHIEVEMENT DIGEST “TAD” Issue No. 106
Gene Griessman, Ph.D. Editor
BENEDICTION
Finish this day and be done with it. You have done what you could. Some blunders and absurdities no doubt have crept in; forget them as soon as you can.
Tomorrow will be a new day. You shall begin it serenely and with too high a spirit to be encumbered with your old nonsense.
What lies behind you and what lies before you are tiny matters compared to what lies within you.
The only person you are destined to become is the person you decide to be.
Do not go where the path may lead; go instead where there is no path and leave a trail.
For the purpose of life is not to be happy. It is to be useful, to be honorable, to be compassionate, to have it make some difference that you have lived, and lived well.
—-Ralph Waldo Emerson (compiled and edited by Gene Griessman)
Footnote To History
Emerson and Lincoln were contemporaries. Lincoln heard the enormously influential orator and writer speak and they spent time together. Here is what Emerson said at a memorial service after Lincoln’s assassination.
He is the true history of the American people in his time. Step by step he walked before them; slow with their slowness, quickening his march by theirs, the true representative of this continent; an entirely public man; father of his country, the pulse of twenty millions throbbing in his heart, the thought of their minds articulated by his tongue.
