Wally Amos became famous for his cookies, however he also became known for his Watermelon analogy for life. He wrote his book Water Melon Magic : Seeds of Wisdom, Slices of Life in 2002. With summer coming we begin to see watermelon in all of our stores and at almost every picnic and barbecue, perhaps you might look at watermelon a bit differently now and remember Wally’s wisdom.
Watermelon
W – Whatever you believe creates your reality. Believe that life is a positive experience and it will be.
A – Attitude is the magic word. Your greatest asset is your attitude. Be positive regardless.
T – Together everyone achieves more. There are no limits to what we accomplish together. I am more than I am but less than we are.
E – Enthusiasm is the wellspring of life. There is no limit to what can be accomplished with enough enthusiasm.
R – Respect yourself as well as others. When you begin to respect yourself, your whole world changes.
M – Make commitments not excuses. There is overwhelming power in the words “Yes I Will”.
E – Every day can be a fun day. Fun is the lubricant that keeps life moving forward. Laugh a Lot.
L – Love is the answer. What ever the question, Love is the answer. It is the greatest force in the universe.
O – One day at a time. How do you eat an elephant? One bite at a time. All of life happens in increments of one.
N – Never give up or become a victim. You are guaranteed to lose if you give up. Winston Churchill was right…… “Never, Never, Never give up” It works if you work it.
