What can I do today to take a step forward?

There is no such thing as can't.

Success is not about money and power. Real success is about relationships. There's no point in making $50 million a year if your teenager thinks you're a jerk and you spend no time with your wife.

At some time, often when we least expect it, we all have to face overwhelming challenges. When the unthinkable happens, the lighthouse is hope. Once we find it, we must cling to it with absolute determination. When we have hope, we discover powers within ourselves we may have never known- the power to make sacrifices, to endure, to heal, and to love. Once we choose hope, everything is possible.

Don't put a limit on what can be accomplished.

I did my first apprenticeship when I was 15, then joined the union when I was 17. I worked every summer in high school and college.
