Sometimes things will go your way and sometimes they won't go your way. Maybe. But if your way is The Tao of The Green Platform ...

The positive effect you have on others ... your lasting legacy.

A great way to start the day.

Warmest congratulations Robert. Ad multos annos.

There is no way to happiness. Happiness is the way. Happiness isn't getting what you want. It's wanting what you get. We never lose our inner joy. We just sometimes lose our connection to it. Happiness is about choice, not chance. Gratitude is the key.

There is nobody more you-er than you. You are unique. You are special. You are a once-off. There will never ever be a better you than you anywhere in the whole wide world. Hold yourself to world class standards. Live with excellence within your sphere of influence.

Deepest sympathy Rosanna. Dr Mickey was an absolute gentleman. He left a wonderful legacy. He made a difference. He's smiling down on us all now from the divine arms of unconditional love. Ar dheis Dé go raibh a anam.

On The Negative Red Platform we find "Energy Vampires." They whinge, whine, moan & complain. They sap & drain your energy. "Energy Drainers." On The Green Platform we have the "Energy Radiators." They radiate positive, joyful, creative energy. A school principal tells her team:

Erik Weihenmayer told us that there were 3 kinds of people who would look at a mountain. The quitters. They give up before they begin. Then the campers. Those who go part of the way & then they give in. Then the climbers. They give it all they've got.

Warmest congratulations Brian. You made such a positive difference in all our lives. Richly deserved.
