"Baden Powell"

“But the real way to get happiness is by giving out happiness to other people.

Try and leave this world a little better than you found it and when your turn comes to die, you can die happy in feeling that at any rate you have not wasted your time but have done your best.”

"The most worth-while thing is to try to put happiness into the lives of others."

― Baden Powell

"Tapi cara nyata untuk mendapatkan kebahagiaan adalah dengan memberikan kebahagiaan kepada orang lain. Mencoba dan meninggalkan dunia ini sedikit lebih baik daripada Anda menemukannya dan ketika giliran Anda datang untuk mati, Anda bisa mati bahagia dalam perasaan bahwa bagaimanapun Anda tidak menyia-nyiakan waktu Anda, tetapi telah melakukan yang terbaik Anda. "

“Leave the world in better conditions in wich you found it.”

    Varied are the ideas of what constitutes 'success,' e.g. money, position, power, achievement, honours, and the like. But these are not open to every mannor do they bring what is real success, namely, happiness.

    (Robert Baden-Powell)

    I have often urged my young friends, when faced with an adversary, to 'play polo' with him i.e., not to go at him bald-headed but to ride side by side with him and gradually edge him off your track. Never lose your temper with him. If you are in the right there is no need to, if you are in the wrong you can't afford to.

    (Robert Baden-Powell)

    I have over and over again explained that the purpose of the Boy Scout and Girl Guide Movement is to build men and women as citizens endowed with the three H's namely, Health, Happiness and Helpfulness. The man or woman who succeeds in developing these three attributes has secured the main steps to success this Life.

    (Robert Baden-Powell)

    The more responsibility the Scoutmaster gives his patrol leaders, the more they will respond.

    (Robert Baden-Powell)

    Success in training the boy depends largely on the Scoutmaster's own personal example.

    (Robert Baden-Powell)

    This world that we're a' livin' in Is mighty hard to beat Of course there's thorns in every rose, But ain't the roses sweet

    (Robert Baden-Powell)

    As Sir Henry Newbolt sums it up 'The real test of success is whether a life has been a happy one and a happy giving one.'

    (Robert Baden-Powell)

    The spirit is there in every boy; it has to be discovered and brought to light.

    To get a hold on boys you must be their friend.

    (Robert Baden-Powell)

    Possibly the best suggestion in condensed form, as to how to live, was given by my old Headmaster, Dr. Haig Brown, in 1904, when he wrote his Recipe for Old Age. A diet moderate and spare, Freedom from base financial care, Abundant work and little leisure, A love of duty more than pleasure, An even and contented mind In charity with all mankind, Some thoughts too sacred for display In the broad light of common day, A peaceful home, a loving wife, Children, who are a crown of life These lengthen out the years of man Beyond the Psalmist's narrow span.

    (Robert Baden-Powell)

    The great thing that strikes you on looking back is how quickly you have comehow very brief is the span of life on this earth. The warning that one would give, therefore, is that it is well not to fritter it away on things that don't count in the end nor on the other hand is it good to take life too seriously as some seem to do. Make it a happy life while you have it. That is where success is possible to every man.
