6. The Life builder's Creed
Dale Witherington
Today is the most important day of my life.
Yesterday with its successes and victories, struggles and failures is
gone forever.
The past is past.
Done.
Finished.
I cannot relive it. I cannot go back and change it.
But I will learn from it and improve my Today.
Today. This moment. NOW.
It is God‘s gift to me and it is all that I have.
Tomorrow with all its joys and sorrows, triumphs and troubles isn‘t
here yet.
Indeed, tomorrow may never come.
Therefore, I will not worry about tomorrow.
Today is what God has entrusted to me.
It is all that I have. I will do my best in it.
I will demonstrate the best of me in it—my character, giftedness, and
abilities
to my family and friends, clients and associates.
I will identify those things that are most important to do Today,
and those things I will do until they are done.
And when this day is done
I will look back with satisfaction at that which I have accomplished.
Then, and only then, will I plan my tomorrow,
Looking to improve upon Today, with God‘s help.
Then I shall go to sleep in peace . . . content.

swords, for safety reasons!). The Indonesian stu-

18. My Art
Ancient Egyptian art
Ancient Egyptian art is the painting, sculpture, architecture and other arts produced by the civilization in the lower Nile Valley from
5000 BC to 300 AD. Ancient Egyptian art reached a high level in painting and sculpture, and was both highly stylized and symbolic.
Much of the surviving art comes from tombs and monuments and thus there is an emphasis on life after death and the preservation of
knowledge of the past.
In a more narrow sense, Ancient Egyptian art refers to the canonical 2nd and 3rd Dynasty art developed in Egypt from 3000 BC and
used until the 3rd century. Most elements of Egyptian art remained remarkably stable over that 3,000 year period with relatively little out-
side influence. The quality of observation and execution started at a high level and remained near that level throughout the period.
