In spite of your fear, do what you have to do.

Whenever your mind is totally absorbed in whatever activities you are performing, your mind will remain calm and content.

A successful life is one that is lived through understanding and pursuing one's own path, not chasing after the dreams of others.

Success also requires the courage to risk disapproval. Most independent thought, new ideas, or endeavors beyond the common measure are greeted with disapproval, and ranging from skepticism and ridicule to violent outrage. To persevere in anything exceptional requires inner strength and the unshakable conviction that you are right.

Acquire the courage to believe in yourself. Many of the things that you have been taught were at one time the radical ideas of individuals who had the courage to believe what their own hearts and minds told them was true, rather than accept the common beliefs of their day.

Often we are so concerned with what makes us feel good that we forget what makes us great.

To succeed in life in today's world, you must have the will and tenacity to finish the job .
