True Champions by R. E. Smith

The true character of a person doesn't show when they win but rather when they lose. Be a good sport and learn from life's lessons. R. Smith 2018

True champions are not at all concerned with just winning. They are concerned with the advancement and development of self, others, and the sport or activity in which they are engaged. It is vital that when we teach about success, we emphasize the importance of failure because in this life we fail more often than we succeed. Our failures build us, it motivates us and it makes us appreciate our victory and breakthroughs. Life is a game so let us learn the art of true sportsmanship.

    So true. Sometimes we focus only on achieving success that we neglect to acknowledge that failure plays a vital role in one's successes. Great work and a good read.

Life untapped a mirror to Success by R. E. Smith

Humans are like computer-based applications programmed for a specific reason or purpose and like these applications, humans are programmed with the innate drive to seek out and find the meaning of life. We often engage in conversation about life and what it really is and it comes to this single fact that life is a gift. Humans beings are granted this special gift, the gift of life and many do not appreciate it, life should be cherished and preserved. Ever so often we read and hear biologists and medical practitioners describe life as the characteristics that set us apart from inanimate objectives. These attributes include the ability to grow, think, reproduce, and ultimately die; the Circle of Life. The biological composition of plants and animals are unique though they are separate state of beings. One has the ability to think while the other relies on external stimuli.

The Wisdom of Life by R. E. Smith

 Each life is Sacred Our lives are made up of countless experiences and like all living things, we pass through various stages of growth and development. Many scholars and medical practitioners argue over the exact moment when life begins.

Sacrifice for Success by R.E. Smith

Recently I was asked, "Can a man be successful without making sacrifices?" and my immediate reply was, Can a man know true love without heartbreak? The answer to both questions can only truly be answered by each individual striving to attain success or love. We are cultured from an early age to identify a career path and work towards it. This advice is a very good one but not the perfect advice to give. In identifying the career path we want to pursue and setting our minds to accomplish the task will result in us becoming productive members of society. The reality is everyone can succeed in whatever career path they chose whether it be medicine, law, education, politics, logistics, engineering or aviation. The question then stands are they truly successful or are they just being productive citizens? This question pushes us to think about what true success is because accomplishing a task or goal is not true success. It is merely completing a task while on the road to suc
