What is Success?
To laugh often and much.
To win the respect of intelligent people and the affection of children.
To earn the appreciation of honest critics and endure the betrayal of false friends.
To appreciate beauty.
To find the best in others.
To leave the world a bit better whether by a healthy child, a garden patch or a redeemed social
condition.
To know even one life has breathed easier because you have lived.
This is to have succeeded!

Take the
|
|
| MYTHS
AND FACTS ABOUT SUICIDE |
| Myth:
People who talk about suicide don’t kill
themselves.
Fact:
Eight out of ten suicides have
spoken about their intent before killing themselves |
Myth:
People who kill themselves really want to die.
Fact:
Most people who commit suicide
are confused about whether or not they want to
live or die. Suicide is often a cry for help that
ends in tragedy. |
Myth:
Once the depressions seems to be lifting, would-be
suicides are out of danger.
Fact: At such a time, they are most
vulnerable to a reversal: something can go wrong
to make the person even worse than before. The
person’s apparent calm may be due to having
already decided on suicide. |
Myth:
When people talk about suicide, you should get
their minds off it, and change the subject.
Fact:
Take them seriously; listen with
care; give them the chance to express themselves,
offer whatever help you can. |
