Encouragement, the Foundation for Success It’s hard to believe after such a cold winter that spring is here. Spring is the time of year when the whole world seems to be growing. From the cold and bleak days of winter into warm sunshine, flowers, blossoms and nature is at its best. Spring is also a time for personal growth and for you to grow takes planning and encouragement. As you plan your spring season include time to be with family and friends, and plan time to encourage others. Review your plans for the summer and set some short term goals such as learning something new each day. My grandfather encouraged me at an early age to read and each day to learn one new word. It was amazing what his encouragement did for me that helped increase my vocabulary and love of reading to this day. My grandfather loved to tell stories and as I look back he taught me a lot about life through his stories. I remember Pap telling a story about two men he knew that returned from the war, both seriously wounded, and for several weeks occupied the same hospital room. One man was allowed to sit up in his bed for an hour each afternoon to help drain the fluid from his lungs. His bed was next to the room’s only window. The other man had to spend all his time flat on his back. The men talked for hours on end. They spoke of their wives and families, their homes, their jobs, their involvement in military service, and where they had been during the war. Every afternoon when the man in the bed by the window could sit up, he would pass the time by describing to his roommate all the things he could see outside the window. The man in the other bed began to live for those one hour periods where his world would be broadened and enlivened by all the activity and color of the world outside. The window overlooked a park with a lovely lake. Ducks and swans played on the water while children sailed their model boats. Young couples walked arm in arm amidst flowers of every color and a fine view of the city skyline could be seen in the distance. As the man by the window described all this in exquisite detail, the man on the other side of the room would close his eyes and imagine the picturesque scene. One warm afternoon the man by the window described a parade passing by. Although the other man couldn’t hear the band – he could see it, in his mind’s eye, as the gentleman by the window portrayed it with descriptive words. Days and weeks passed. One morning, the day nurse arrived to bring water for their baths only to find the lifeless body of the man by the window, who had died peacefully in his sleep. She was saddened and called the hospital attendants to take the body away. As soon as it seemed appropriate, the other man asked if he could be moved next to the window. The nurse was happy to make the switch, and after making sure he was comfortable, she left him alone. Slowly, painfully, he propped himself up on one elbow to take his first look at the real world outside. He strained to slowly turn to look out the window beside his bed. It faced a blank wall. The man asked the nurse what could have compelled his deceased roommate to describe such wonderful things outside this window when there was only a wall. The nurse responded that the man had severe shrapnel wounds and had arrived at the hospital blind. Seeing the puzzled look on her patient’s face she said, “Perhaps he just wanted to encourage you.” Encouragement is important for all of us, no matter what the season, encouragement builds the foundation for goals that begins with dreaming. If you can’t dream about it and imagine what if, then you will not achieve it. This spring grow your dreams and let your mind imagine all the wonderful things you can achieve. What the mind conceives and believes, you will achieve. This is how it works. First you need encouragement, then faith in yourself and your abilities, and then work each day to achieve your dreams. This spring is a time to plan your personal growth. If you do your personal planning well, you will have greater potential for success. For this success to happen your attitude must be one that reflects positive thinking, coupled with deep and boundless curiosity, and a willingness to take a chance on learning and trying new things, and above all a genuine desire for personal growth. Personal growth is not easy and words of encouragement will support you on the path to success. To be successful people must have a well thought out plan, and plan a time for personal growth. Spring Personal Growth Planning Suggestions: Plan some short term goals Plan a good attitude Plan a dream that begins with “what if I” Plan time to learn and explore new ideas Plan time for community service Plan time to eat right Plan time to relax and rest Plan time with family and friends Plan time that you can to encourage others. – Doug Hovatter is a WVU associate professor and 4-H agent in Berkeley County.

Posebna priča za posebnu osobu - TEBE Uzmi si pola minute i pročitaj ovu priču jer je stvarno nešto posebno: Dva muškarca, obojica jako bolesni zajedno su ležali u bolnici. Jedan od njih je svaki dan imao mogućnost sjediti u svom krevetu zbog izdvajanja vode iz njegovih pluća. Njegov krevet je stajao uz jedini prozor u sobi. Drugi muškarac je morao stalno ležati na leđima. Brzo su se upoznali i razgovarali po cijele dane. Pričali su o svojim obiteljima, svojim domovima, poslu, gdje su bili u vojsci, i gdje na odmoru. Svaki dan je muškarac koji je sjedio uz prozor opisivao drugome muškarcu stvari koje je vidio vani. Muškarac na drugom krevetu je počeo živjeti za te jednosatne trenutke kada je njegov prijatelj sjedio i pričao o događanjima i bojama vanjskoga svijeta. Prozor je gledao na park uz jezero s labudovima. Guske i labudovi su se igrali u vodi, a mala su djeca spuštali svoje male čamce u vodu. Mladi parovi su zagrljeni šetali uz cvijeće svih boja. Veliko, staro i snažno drveće je uljepšavalo pokrajinu, a u daljini su se vidjela svjetla grada. Kada je muškarac uz prozor detaljno objašnjavao sve to, njegov je prijatelj na drugom krevetu zatvorio oči te zamišljao sve te slikovite prizore. Jednoga dana mu je muškarac uz prozor opisivao paradu, koja se kretala uz jezero. Bez obzira što njegov prijatelj nije čuo tu muziku, on ju je vidio u svom umu. Tako su prolazili dani i tjedni. Jednoga jutra je jutranja sestra donijela vodu za umivanje i uz prozor pronašla tijelo muškarca koji je u snu mirno umro. Bila je tužna i pozvala je medicinsko osoblje koje je tijelo odnijelo van. Odmah kada je to bilo moguće, drugi muškarac je zamolio da ga pomaknu uz prozor. Sestra mu je sa zadovoljstvom udovoljila, pobrinula se da se je udobno namjestio te ga ostavila samog. Uz veliki napor podigao se polako na laktove kako bi po prvi puta ugledao vanjski svijet. Konačno je imao priliku sam uživati u vanjskim ljepotama. Pogledao je kroz prozor i ugleda prazan zid. Muškarac je pitao sestru koji je to bio razlog da je pokojni prijatelj tako lijepo opisivao stvari u vanjskom svijetu. Sestra mu je rekla da je bio slijep i da nije mogao vidjeti zid koji je stajao ispred prozora. Reče: »A, možda je htio usrećiti vas?« Epilog: Neizmjerna sreća leži u usrećivanju drugih, bez obzira na naše uvjete. Podijeljena tuga se raspolovi, a kada dijelimo sreću ona se podvoji. Ako se želiš osjećati bogatim tada prebroji stvari koje ne možeš kupiti novcima. »Danas je dar, zato se zove sadašnjost«. Izvorni pisac te priče ostaje nepoznat, a pismo donosi sreću svakome, koji ga pošalje dalje. Ne zadržavaj ovo pismo. Pismo pošalji prijateljima kojima želiš sreću. Vidjeti ćeš da će se i tebi dogoditi nešto lijepo. Ovu poucnu pricu dobih jutros od jednog dragog prijatelja kao odgovor na moju pricu....podelih je sa Vama! Najbolnije je, kada je covek slep pored ociju i kroz zivot ide hladnim srcem gazeci dobro koje mu se cini. Zelim vam svima lep i uspesan dan! Vasa Sneki.c/p
