Your Mental Attitude - Cornerstone

Waste of time is one of the most costly ex­penses on life’s ledger . . .
it can never be reimbursed.

Thousands of people would never have expe­rienced the bitterness and helplessness
of want if they had not first been guilty of WASTE.

There is a constant dissipation of thought and feeling, just as there is of physical energies. Each in turn exacts its heavy toll from us.

Dissipation of thought and feeling proves wasteful and ruinous to the mind and heart
the same process is equally as destructive to health and strength of the body.

As one man puts it: “Dreamy revelries, desul­tory reading, unregulated and scattering thought, plans formed without reason, or never carried out to wise results, are as truly dissipation of the soul as the wildest revelries and indulgences are of the body.”

Waste produces decay, stagnation, barrenness,
unproductivity, lack, ruin, destruction, want.

Wasting time on the job or money from our savings doesn’t make much difference…
both have the same end result.

Squandering or wasting time can never be accurately tabulated for us, but most of us are keenly aware of how destructive it can be and how terrifically costly.

YOU can do something about it by develop­ing the habit of thrift. By substituting thrift for waste, you will have made an extremely valuable forward step.

Cultivate this important thrift habit in all things . . . be saving of your time .. . on the job or off . . . saving of materials and equip­ment . . . on the job or off . . . thrifty with physical energies . . . thrifty with unregulated and scattered thinking. .

It will pay YOU big dividends in all direc­tions to cultivate this all-important habit of being thrifty with your time, energy, thoughts and material possessions. Learn to be careful in avoiding waste or dissipation in the small things and the larger ones will automatically fall into the same pattern.

It is entirely up to YOU during each day to calculate and control WHAT PRICE you want to pay for WASTE. We never fail because we are too thrifty in safeguarding our time, thoughts or physical energies . . . but because we are not thrifty enough.

[Kathy in Alaska]

It got above zero today for the first time all week.

[Kathy in Alaska]

Yes, you must explain everything. LOL! My brain is on major "information overload".

OK, now what was I supposed to do? I forgot already.

[Kathy in Alaska]

OK. I got it now. It requires paying attention to words one reads. LOL!

[trussell]

When will you be at DFW? Maybe it would be less expensive for me to fly into that airport than to Austin or Houston.

[NYTexan]

Yark!

[MS.BEHAVIN]

LOL!

[Brad’s Gramma]

Haven't a CLUE what you're talking about. But THIS ole chick's gotta get to bed. She's got an Eagle to fly tomorrow!

[Kathy in Alaska]

Good luck getting that eagle to fly, and safely. Any more visitors?

[Brad’s Gramma]

I was wondering about that. I checked out the Eagle tonight and found only one. Is there another flying in? If so, I'll wait and do both at the same time.

Yes?
No?

[Brad’s Gramma]

Wait.

Were you talking Eagles or Rats?

[Kathy in Alaska]

Hmmmm....waiting for the 2nd eagle may not be such a bad idea. We'll have to check with Houston Space Command.

And, what about rats......

[Arrowhead1952]

The lake is about 21 feet low. We need some real heavy rain with runoff to get the level back to normal.

[TheMom]
