It’s obvious you kids are smart-school and good teachers will do that for you-but wisdom is something altogether different. Wisdom can be gathered in your downtime. Wisdom that can change the very course of your life will come from the people you are around, the books you read, and the things you listen to or watch on radio or television.

Beginning today, I will create a new future by creating a new me. No longer will I dwell in a pit of despair, moaning over squandered time and lost opportunity. I can do nothing about the past. My future is immediate. I will grasp it in both hands and carry it with running feet. When I am faced with the choice of doing nothing or doing something, I will always choose to act! I seize this moment. I choose now.

There are generations yet unborn, whose very lives will be shifted and shaped by the moves you make and the actions you take.

Are you smiling when you talk? Try it today, and I guarantee you will notice a difference in your life.

When you don't know what to do, do something. I know you don't know what to do and I know you can't do everything right now, but you can do something.

I tell people that I'm not necessarily any good, it's just that there is nobody like me. I just promise you will not be bored.

Every good thing that has happened in your life happened because something changed.
