A common form of avak loshon hora (dust of loshon hora) is where one sincerely praises another person, but in doing so, alludes to a shortcoming of that individual.
For instance, “Who would have believed that he would have come this far?” clearly suggests something negative about the person, and is therefore forbidden. ~ Chofetz Chaim
Wherever peace is found, fear of God is found; wherever peace is lacking, fear of God is lacking. ~ Chofetz Chaim
A man must relinquish all of his tomorrows for one today, lest he come to relinquish all of his todays for one tomorrow. ~ The Alter of Novordok
At time of distress, strengthen your heart, even if you stand at death’s door. The lamp has light before it is extinguished. Wounded lions still know how to roar. ~ Shmuel HaNaggid (933-1056 c.e.)
A truly happy person is one who can enjoy the scenery while on a detour.

A few days ago, the newest cycle of the Mishna Yomis began with Maseches Brachos. By learning just two mishnayos each day, a person completes roughly one seder of Shas every year, and all of Shas in about 6 years, a phenomenal accomplishment. Whether you already have a seder of learning or not, everyone reading this is capable of dedicating a few minutes to this endeavor.
There are a number of apps and other resources available to aide your learning. Go to www.mishnayomi.com and download the free app on both IPhone and Android. The app allows you to listen to a shiur which is very clear and concise and even the most difficult and technical subjects are explained in a way that all can understand. It also includes a reminder function so you can set a reminder to listen to your daily mishnayos and tracking functionality so that you can tick off when you have completed a particular day.
Another great free app that includes the entire Mishna with Kehati can be found in the links below.

Wouldn’t it be nice to one day be able to say that you completed all of Shas? Now is the time to start.
