Our weaknesses are always evident, both to ourselves and others. But our strengths are hidden until we choose to reveal them--and that is when we are truly tested. When all that we have within is exposed, and we may no longer blame our inadequacies for our failure, but must instead depend upon our strengths to succeed ... that is when the measure of a man is taken, my boy.

Sometimes a catastrophe is simply a course correction.

Live deliberately. Decide: are you the kind of person things happen to, or the kind of person who makes things happen?
