**********************************************
First of all, I'd like to thank all the ALT Officers (Melba, Gloria and members) for the holiday cards and the George Bush Presidential Library also.
While at the George Bush International Airport in Houston I passed the bronze statue of the elder George Bush and I was reminded of his previous letter:
He wrote in his own handwriting (not typed):
I cannot single out the one greatest challenge in my life. I have had a lot of challenges and my advice to young people might be as follows
1. Don't get down when your life takes a bad turn. Out of adversity comes challenge and other success
2. Don't blame others for your set backs
3. When things go well, always give credit to others
4. Don't talk all the time. Listen to your friends and mentors and learn from them
5. Don't brag about yourself. Let others point out your virtues, your strong points.
6. Give someone else a hand. When a friend is hurting show that friend you care.
7. Nobody likes an overbearing big shot.
8. As you succeed be kind to people. Thank those who help you along the way.
9. Don't be afraid to shed a tear when your heart is broken because a friend is hurting
10. Say your prayers!!
I have many New Year's Resolution. a few I've broken. I'll try again this year to not unbreak the advice from above.
