Fortune Favors the Bold.
Every Cloud Has a Silver Lining
Every cloud has a silver lining.
There is a blessing in every bad situation. Even though you may not see the sun when it is dark and cloudy, it is still shining. In every bad situation there is good.
Remain positive and seek to find the good.

Be an encourager and a supporter. You are not an island by yourself. If you belong to a group be there. Never think for a moment that your presence and support make no difference.
Words Of Wisdom
"Powerful Words
my Father Told me From A-Z," is a collection of popular verses, statements or sayings known as proverbs. Many of the
proverbs mentioned in this book were gleaned from Holy Scriptures, African ,
Jamaican, as well as from English cultures.
The purpose of a
proverb is to teach wisdom or a moral lesson. This is usually conveyed from one
generation to the other by word of mouth similar to storytelling. With modern technology they are now being conveyed via the written word, the
internet , audio, as well as via audio visuals.
Even though proverbs originated from ancient time they
continued to be coined. Many modern day proverbs are gleaned from movies, stories, TV commercials, poetry,
comedies and even modern inventions. The creation of proverbs is an ongoing
process. It is said that hundreds of the
English proverbs were coined in the 20th century. Wise men of old pondered and
crafted these wise sayings as well as local people . King Solomon the wisest
man who lived wrote an entire book entitled, "Proverbs."
In Proverbs 1:1-8 (KJV), he described the purpose of a
proverb.
"The proverbs of Solomon the son of David, king of
Israel;
To know wisdom and instruction;
To perceive the words
of understanding;
To receive
instruction of wisdom, justice, and judgment, and equity;
To give to subtlety, the
simple, to the young man knowledge and discretion. A wise man will hear, and
will increase learning; and a man of understanding shall attain unto wise
counsels:
To understand a proverb, and the interpretation; the words
of the wise, and their dark sayings. The fear of the Lord is the beginning of
knowledge: but fools despise wisdom and instructions.
My son, hear the instruction of thy father, and forsake not
the law of thy mother."
