Kent M. Keith wrote a book a few years ago with the above title.
The book is about grace, wisdom, and happiness that come from facing the worst in our world with the best in ourselves. These principles are as appropriate today as they were in the 1960's when Mr. Keith articulated them as a young student at Harvard University.
Little did he know that over the years they would be used and quoted by so many people all over the world, even posted on the walls of Mother Teresa's children home in Calcutta, India.
If we follow his philosophy we can do good regardless of our circumstances and live a happier life.
Unfortunately, we live in a fallen world and often that's how life is. Sometimes very disappointing. However, if we try to follow what he says, as much as we can, as often as we can, our lives will be happier and more peaceful. The satisfaction you will experience, for following the ten suggestions, will be worth the effort.
Make it a Great Year!
