Life is no straight and easy corridor ~ A J Cronin (1896-1981)

Dr. Spencer Johnson has mentioned in his book “Who Moved My Cheese?” an Introductory Poem by A J Cronin titled: Life is no straight and easy corridor

Life is no straight and easy corridor
A J Cronin (1896-1981)

“Life is no straight and easy corridor along
which we travel free and unhampered,

but a maze of passages,
through which we must seek our way,
lost and confused, now and again,

The Hope of Ordinary Men

Shaunti Feldhahn has mentioned in her book “For Women Only

In conclusion, one man provided great encouragement to every woman out there who wants to support her man in becoming all God intends him to be.

“It is so true, that behind every great man is a great woman,” he said. “There are a lot of men out there who are mediocre, simply because

“If any woman is going to get her feelings hurt, it’s not going to be my wife”

Shaunti and Jeff Feldhahn have mentioned in their book “For Men Only

Since our wife needs to know that we find her beautiful, and she feels protected by knowing that we only have eyes for her, well… we have plenty of opportunities these days to send her that message.

True Story:

A woman whose husband doesn’t control his looking and lusting will start to feel like a failue.

Shaunti and Jeff Feldhahn have mentioned in their book “For Men Only

On our survey for this book, although two-thirds of women said they’d be bothered if their man noticed a woman with a great body, only one out of four said they’d be hurt. But when we asked how they’d feel if they knew their man’s thoughts were lingering on that woman’s body, the number of women who said they’d be hurt jumped to three out of four, with even higher rates among women under age forty-five.

For many women, lingering thoughts (lusting) were the same thing as cheating.

Real Job IS closer to home.. (What Matters: Happy Dad)

Shaunti and Jeff Feldhahn have mentioned in their book “For Men Only

We all instinctively know that as our children grow up and leave the home, as we and our wives age together, the best memories will not center around the cool things that we bought or the size of the house. Invariably, the measure of success will be something much simpler and closer to home – the life that er shared on a daily basis.

A woman who grew up in a large family in Flint, Michigan – one of those gritty, industrial cities of the Midwest – described how more “providing” by her father had not turned out to be a better life for any of them:

When we were little, we lived in a small house right in the city. The neighborhood wasn’t great, but I loved my life. And my dad was happy dad. He was so much fun to be around.

There is no such thing as “Too Late” in life

Mitch Albom has mentioned in his book “Tuesdays with Morrie” (Conclusion)

I look back sometimes at the person i was before I rediscovered my old professor. I want to talk to that person. I want to tell him what to look out for, what mistakes to avoid. I want to tell him to be more open, to ignore the lure of advertised values, to pay attention when your loved ones are speaking, as if it were the last time you might hear them.

I Know I can not do this. None of us can undo what we’ve done, or relive a life already recorded. But

Relationships have to be negotiated in loving ways..

Mitch Albom has mentioned in his book “Tuesdays with Morrie”

There is no formula to relationships. They have to be negotiated in loving ways, with room for both parties, what they want and what they need, what they can do and what their life is like.”In business, people negotiate to win. They negotiate to get what they want. Maybe you’re too used to that. LOVE is different. Love is

Death ends a life, not a relationship

Mitch Albom has mentioned in his book “Tuesdays with Morrie”

“As long as we can love each other, and remember the feeling of love we had, we can die without ever really going away. All the love you created is still there. All the memories are still there. You live on – in the hearts of everyone you have touched and nurtured while you were here” Morrie said

Being at peace… The most incredible feeling

Mitch Albom has mentioned in his book “Tuesdays with Morrie”

“It was a most incredible feeling. The sensation of accepting what was happening, being at peace,” Morrie said. “That’s what we’re all looking for. A certain peace with the idea of dying. If we know,
