All success is, really, is having a predetermined plan and carrying it out successfully over a long period of time.

Deadlines aren't bad. They help you organize your time. They help you set priorities. They make you get going when you might not feel like it.

I'm a little shot that just kept on shooting.

If you want to stay youthful, stay useful.

Believe in yourself, even when no one else does.

Don't let ups and downs leave you down and out.

Laugh often. Starting your day with a good laugh, or at least a big smile, is as beneficial to your health as it is to your mood. Scientific studies at Northwestern University and Fordham University concluded that laughter benefits the heart, lungs, stomach and other organs. It relaxes tensions, changes attitude, and increases the body's natural painkillers. And it has no harmful side effects.
