A WISHING WILL

Wishing consumes as much energy as planning. You can't cross the sea merely by standing and staring at the water. Don't let yourself indulge in vain wishes. Many of us spend half of our time wishing for things we could have if we didn't spend half our time wishing. Wishes won't wash dishes. Work while others are wishing. If wishes were horses beggars would ride. The wishing gate opens into nothing.

Wishing of all strategies, is the worst. Work will win when wishy washy wishing won't. To a resolute mind, wishing to do is the first step toward doing.

Referring A Child

But if we do not wish to do a thing it becomes impossible. Some cultures have customs in which people are encouraged to "make a wish", such as blowing out the candles on a birthday cake , seeing a shooting star at night, tossing a coin into a wishing well or fountain or breaking the wishbone of a cooked turkey. Many believe such wishes can only come true if they are kept a secret from other people. Others, on the other hand, believe that wishes come true only if they are told to someone else.
