Trouble is only opportunity in work clothes.
You can't sit on the lid of progress. If you do, you will be blown to pieces.
I make progress by having people around me who are smarter than I am and listening to them. And I assume that everyone is smarter about something than I am.
Love people and serve them.
Put your life's plan into determined action and go after what you want with all that's in you.
Live daringly, boldly, fearlessly.
