Betty Bridges NSD Emeritus Debut: Part 2

is unbelievable to try and how all the names would be of course impossible but my heart is filled with gratitude and love for a company that has made me who I am allowed me to become what I believe God called me to be because I couldn't take time to share so much I have a few thoughts that wasn't leading to you and hopes that it will give you encouragement to know that this really is a wonderful life and all things are possible if you are willing to believe I hear my grandson talk and he's got it honest I know I'm going to use four words that I think will make a difference and the words are developed love accept and embrace first thing is develop an attitude of gratitude Mary Kay always said actions speak louder than words so instead of talking about how grateful we are for this opportunity I challenge every director consultants biq wherever you are today to give it away more often that's how you show your gratitude also secondly really love the people that you need and that's not easy I know if I also heard Mary Kate Julie words my mother Teresa years ago that people really are occasionally the illogical unreasonable and self-centered aren't we but love them anyway and we bunch of that keep in mind that we honor the people we're talking about we are sometimes ourselves sad to say living those adjectives so be mindful love is an actual word as well and accept of fact that knowledge really is a poor man's wealth I've heard that years ago and I pondered it for a while and realize that when striving to have is more important because knowledge is the application of the really the acquiring of information and we can have the knowledge but if you're not applying that knowledge then you will never get the wisdom so make wisdom the principal thing has it stated and all thy getting get the understanding that acquiring the information alone is not power the power is in applying the application of what you've learned and that's the window the next I would like to talk about and get my third point I'm sorry okay it's embracing the fact and this was something that I had to learn that I think will be a lesson that the only person who holds us back in anything in life is us if you will make me you your project one of the challenges I have early in my career and that I did not see myself and in the sense that we look in the mirror sometimes but we don't look beyond that mirror who we really are and what changes are necessary to become what God called us to be and learning that I was grateful and always will be to God that he gave me a great attitude because you're the perfect God attitude is everything and for those skeptics who cannot believe it attitude is 100 percent I'm home and professionally a teacher and I can tell you if you take the word attitude the heg ITU DD and you add the numbers where the alphabet falls in the line of 26 the a is one of course we all know that the Chi is 20 that's three times 20 the is nine the U is 21 the D is 4 and the P is fine if you add those numbers together it equals 100% Annetta mainly so attitude really is everything and you only know sometimes when a person has a bad one and there was a good time in that amazing so challenges have to always work on having a powerful attitude and that's it not easy I want to share a poem the excerpts are from a formed about one by an author named Shani Kelly this is what I finally make the difference you are the key to your success one word can spark a movement one flower can wake a dream when tree can start a forest and Wenberg and Harold's friend one smile and bring a friendship one hand claps and lifts the soul one candle wax out darkness and one cheer can obtain a vote one Sunbeam can lift a room and one candle wipe out the darkness one staff must start each journey one word must start each prayer one hope can raise our spirits and one touch and show you care one voice and speak with wisdom one heart can know what's true one life and make a difference and that one life can be you thank you very much I'm [Applause]
