       SAD, BUT TRUE
       1. Realize this:
       No matter what you say and how you say it, SOME people will
       never get it.
       That's not your fault!
       *Sad, But True!*
       2. No matter how pure your motives are, SOMEBODY will still
       accuse you of ill intentions.
       Stay pure anyway.
       *Sad, But True!*
       3. No matter how humble you are, somebody will still consider
       you proud. Stay humble, anyway.
       *Sad, But True!*
       4. No matter how generous you are, somebody will still call you
       "selfish". Remain generous, anyway.
       *Sad, But True!*
       5. Sometimes some of your greatest pains will come from those
       you gave the most pleasure.
       *Sad, But True!*
       6. Some of your greatest disappointments will come from those
       you gave your best appointments or commitments.
       *Sad, But True!*
       7. Sometimes some of the worst things you'd hear about yourself
       may come from those you speak the best of.
       *Sad, But True!*
       8. Not everyone in your ship is paddling in the direction of
       your dreamed destination.
       Discernment is key.
       *Sad, But True!*
       9. Loving people sometimes means feeling used by them.
       *Sad, But True!*
       10. Sometimes, doing the right thing ends up making you look
       like a fool.
       *Sad, But True!*
       11. Tough as it seems, any evil done against you can become a
       seed for your promotion... It depends on your response.
       *Sad, But True!*
       12. I would rather appear foolish now and see the wisdom of the
       Almighty God unfold, than appear wise now and turn out a fool
       later.
       *Sad, But True!*
       13. Promotion doesn't come by fighting for your rights but by
       being faithful in doing what is right.
       *Sad, But True!*
       14. Those who will enjoy true promotion by the Almighty must be
       willing to forgive freely, forgive quickly and forgive wholly.
       *Sad, But True!*
       15. Those who will relish true promotion must be willing to
       serve many for free and selflessly.
       *Sad, But True!*
       16. Read with caution: Sometimes, to see the positive things
       Almighty God can do for you, then you have to be willing to stop
       what you can do in offending Him.
       *Sad, But True!*
       17. Without God's sign off, your biggest step can turn out to be
       your biggest mistake.
       *Sad, But True!*
       18. Pain has a higher potential to toughen you up than pleasure
       does.
       *Sad, But True!*
       19. Problems are easier to solve than people.
       *Sad, But True!*
       20. Many people will celebrate you only as long as your
       advancement doesn't exceed their expectations of you.
       *Sad, But True!*
       21. Some people get close enough to you just to find something
       bad about you to broadcast to the world.
       *Sad, But True!*
       22. Some people are quiet when you're succeeding but quick to
       point out your failures.
       *Sad, But True!*
       23. Hating those who hate you makes them your leaders, since
       you're following their footsteps.
       *Sad, But True!*
       24. Rather than react to a negative situation. Respond to your
       revelation.
       *Sad, But True!*
       25. Believe the best even when you're going through the worst.
       *Sad, But True!*
       26. They hurt you? Don't hold it against them. Hold them up in
       prayer.
       *Sad, But True!*
       27. Forgiving people is not just a good idea. It's God's idea.
       Actually, more than an idea. It's an instruction.
       *Sad, But True!*
       28. How you respond to a situation can be more important than
       the situation.
       *Sad, But True!*
       29. Your ability to overlook an offence determines the degree of
       dominion you'd exercise over many other things.
       *Sad, But True!*
       30. Wisdom will help you solve problems. A large heart will help
       you accommodate people. You need both.
       *Sad, But True!*
       31. When all is said and done, let the fear and the love of the
       Almighty GOD in your heart pour through your daily walk!
       *Sad, But True!*
       32. The wise is he who takes lessons from the above, and with
       them benefit others!
       *Sad, But True!*

       Everyone alive will need one of the points at some point or the
       other.
       *Sad, But True!*

       *Sad, But True!*
