Every Thing You Do is Right Day

Because every bad day is followed by a good day, March 16 is Everything You Do is Right Day.

Everything You Do is Right Day is the opposite of Everything You Think is Wrong day, which is possibly one of the most dispiriting made-up holidays out there.

Positivity

It is an unofficial holiday that encourages people to believe that no matter what happened before today, everything they do on this day will turn out great.

We all need positive reinforcements from time to time and what better way to bring positivity in our lives by celebrating this reaffirming holiday?

How to Celebrate?

Remember, everything you do today is the right thing to do. The bottom line is, do whatever makes you happy.
Start the day right - with a healthy breakfast. It has long been known that a good breakfast not only has health benefits but can help people concentrate better on their work during the day.
Spend time with happy, positive people. Psychologists and self-help pundits all agree that a person is as happy as the least happiest person around them. So, surrounding yourself with cheerful people means that some of their positivity will rub off on to you.
Need to de-stress? Take this day to give yourself a much-needed pampering. Go to the spa, spend some time at the yoga studio, or just park yourself on the couch with a huge tub of ice cream and marathon your favorite show.
If you know of someone who is having a bad day, brighten up their day and pay it forward.

Did You Know...

...that ethics is a branch of philosophy that distinguishes between right and wrong?

Following months of marijuana drug busts, the DEA took the contraband into a remote region to burn. The fire was blazing brightly when an agent noticed that a flock of terns was flying around the area. Concerned about the effects of the smoke on the birds, they called the National Audubon Society.

Their worst fears were confirmed. There was not one tern left unstoned.

The New York-New Jersey Trail Conference was preparing to move from its longtime home in New York City to Mahwah, N.J. The day before the big move, the following sign appeared on the door:

"Here today, gone to Mahwah."

Stuck in rush-hour traffic, I couldn't help but stare when a burly biker wearing black leather jacket and chaps pulled up next to me on a shocking pink Harley Davidson. My first thoughts were, "Is that really a pink Harley? I wonder if he's…" Just then the traffic cleared and he pulled in front of me. On the back of his helmet were stenciled the words "Yes it is. No I'm not."

In a lecture to a group of Korean officers, Lieut. Gen. Bruce C. Clarke, at that time deputy commander of the Eighth Army in Korea, took two or three minutes to tell his favorite joke. His interpreter then quickly translated the joke, using only seven or eight words. Everyone immediately burst into hearty laughter. After the lecture General Clarke asked the interpreter how he had been able to retell such a relatively long joke so quickly.

"Well, sir," the Korean interpreter replied, "I didn't think everyone would get the point, so I said, 'The general has just told a joke. Everyone will please laugh.'"

A young man asked for a job with the circus, any job at all. The manager decided to give him a chance to become an assistant lion tamer and took him to the practice cage.

The head lion tamer, a beautiful young woman, was just starting her rehearsal. Entering the cage, she removed her cape with a flourish and, standing in a gorgeous costume, motioned to a lion. Obediently the lion crept towards her and then rolled over twice.

"Well," said the manager to the young man, "do you think you can learn to do that?"

"I'm sure I could," he replied, "but first you'll have to get that lion out of there."
