Decide to be happy today, to live with what is yours – your family, your business, your job, your luck. If you can’t have what you like, maybe you can like what you have.
Just for today, be kind, cheerful, agreeable, responsive, caring, and understanding. Be your best, dress your best, talk softly, and look for the bright side of things. Praise people for what they do and do not criticize them for what they cannot do. If someone does something stupid, forgive and forget. After all, it’s just for one day.
Who knows, it might turn out to be a nice day.

Celebrate today and share a few kind words and a smile with someone you know who could use a little encouragement!
I'm so sorry your parents didn't recognize your efforts in the way you deserved, Ma! I think mine were the opposite -- which actually had the effect of making me ill-prepared for real-life critiques.
I try to encourage others, but like other things, this is an area where I really should step up my game. Thank you for reminding us!
Well, color me shocked, I would never have guessed your parents criticized and didn't appreciate you. You are the total opposite! You've come a long way!
