Choice is yours

RICHARD Blechnyden wanted to promote Indian tea at the St. Louis World Fair. It was very hot and no one wanted to sample his tea. Blechnyden saw that iced drinks were doing a flourishing business. It dawned on him to make his tea an iced drink, mix in some sugar and offer it for sale. People loved it. That was the introduction of iced tea to the world.

Human beings are not like a nut. It can not decide whether to become food for squirrels or grow into a giant tree. Human beings have choices. If nature gives us a lemon, we have a choice: either to cry or make lemonade.

WHEN THINGS GO WRONG, AS THEY SOMETIMES WILL, YOU CAN REACT RESPONSIBLY OR RESENTFULLY—IT IS UP TO YOU.
