KEEP SMILING
by Avrohom Tzvi Schwartz
Keep Trying We're on a ladder, and climbing up. This
ladder however, stands on quicksand. It sinks. Therefore, we
have to climb quickly — not only to progress, but also
to stop ourselves from sinking. The most important advice a
game- player receives is "Keep your eye on the ball." We have
to keep our goals in mind — as much as possible —
as often as possible. Then we will climb towards them. Only
with application do our creative powers help us — to
produce, to flower in a full, beautiful way. We need to try,
and try, and keep trying. We might not always see our
progress, but we must believe it is there. "As is the
exertion — so is the reward." We must persist —
then we will succeed. We must persist — then we will
reach our every dream, love, and happiness.
Keep Smiling
TREAT YOURSELF
When the horse and rider have traveled hard and far, and
fulfilled their mission. They deserve their rest. They merit
their reward — the horse, fresh hay, the rider, a hot,
tasty meal, a small glass of whiskey.
We want to live fine, comfortable, beautiful life-styles. Let
us do so then, for our bodies — for our horse.
We want to achieve lofty, spiritual goals. We want salvation,
redemption for our people, peace for our world, the joys of
eternity. Let us achieve them then, for our selves —
for our rider.
Both our bodies and our selves deserve their reward. And both
will only function competently, profitably, if we show them
their prize, promise them their due, and strive to give them
the pleasures they want.
