Ten Cannots

 

Ten Cannots

This was in my local paper. I thought it was good and really needed to be
reiterated in this age.

You cannot bring about prosperity by discontinuing thrift.

You cannot help the small by bearing down on the great.

You cannot strengthen the weak by weakening the strong.

You cannot lift up the wage earner by pulling down the wage payer.

You cannot help the poor man by destroying the rich man.

You cannot keep out of trouble by spending more than your income.

You cannot further brotherhood of man by inciting class hatred.

You cannot establish security on borrowed money.

You cannot build character and courage by taking away a man's initiative and
independence.

You cannot help people permanently by doing for them what they could and should
be doing for themselves.

Ég er 38 ára, Bogamaður og á ekki börn og er á lausu en annars er þessi mynd af mér orðin gömul. Hvað annað? Ef mér dettur eitthvað í hug þá uppfæri ég bara. Uppfærslur, það er fínt orð.
