**Here are a few words of wisdom:   

In Daniel Defoe's book The Life and Adventures of Robinson Crusoe,
Robinson Crusoe makes a notch on a stick in order to count the days.
American author Henry David Thoreau thinks we should follow this
example, but with a slight twist. He says:
         We should mark a notch every day on our characters,
         as Robinson Crusoe did on his stick.
We've talked before about the root meaning of the word character, which
literally means "to engrave." As we mature and develop our character, we
notch into ourselves virtuous qualities such as reliability, fairness, 
kindness, and honesty.
So today remember this: Every time you commit a random act of 
kindness, take responsibility for your actions, and treat others with
fairness, you are making a notch in your character. ANd with every notch, 
you are becoming the best you can be.

 **With something to think about, Make it a great day... or not. The choice is yours.
