5、shapes and sizes filled the skies like beautiful birds dancing. As the strong winds gusted against the kites, a string kept them in check. How much like kites we sometimes are! The Heaven gives us adversity and restrictions, rules to follow from which we can grow and gain strength. Restraint is a ne
6、cessary counterpart to the winds of opposition. Some of us restrict to the rules so hard that we never soar to reach the heights we might have obtained.

During the past year, the headlines have publicised lots of cases of untrustworthy behaviour, some of it lurid, even crimi
8、nal, some of it merely squalid and routine. Some bankers and some care-home workers, some journalists and some politicians and assorted others have been exposed as untrustworthy. Once again the slightly plaintive question “How can we restore trust?“ is on everyones lips. Taken in one way, the answer
9、 is pretty obvious. First, be trustworthy. Second, provide others with good evidence that you are trustworthy. As Abraham Lincoln pointed out, “You may fool all of the people some of the time; you can even fool some of the people all of the time; but you cant fool all of the people all of the time.“
10、 I think its perverse to think of trust as more basic than trustworthiness.

The second enemy you face is indecision. Indecision is the thief of opportunity and enterprise. It will steal your
12、 chances for a better future. The third enemy inside is doubt. You cannot believe everything. But you also cannot let doubt take over. Many people doubt the past, doubt the future, doubt each other, doubt the government, doubt possibilities and doubt opportunities. The fourth enemy within is worry.
13、Weve all got to worry some. Just dont let it conquer you. Instead, let it alarm you. The fifth interior enemy is overcaution. It is the timid approach to life. If you let it go, itll conquer you. Be courageous in your life and in your pursuit of the things you want and the person you want to become.

18、ld oppose it. Time and time again when you feared it was gone forever you found that the goodness of life was really only a moment away. Around the next corner, inside every moment, the goodness of life is there to surprise and delight you. Take a moment to let the goodness of life touch your spirit
19、 and calm your thoughts. For the goodness of life grows more and more magnificent each time it is given away.
