Your life, my life, the life of each one of us is going to serve as either a warning or an example. A warning of the consequences of neglect, self-pity, lack of direction and ambition... or an example of talent put to use, of discipline self-imposed, and of objectives clearly perceived and intensely pursued.

Make rest a necessity, not an objective. Only rest long enough to gather strength.

Learn to express, not impress.

In order to do more. I've got to be more.

When the why gets stronger, the how gets easier.

Always leave people with a solution; the heaven if you do versus the hell if you don't. If you're really skillful you can put the person into the future solution. Shoaff used to say, 'Jim, I can see you now in your new clothes, in your new home, in your new car. I can see others walking up to you.' The Promise of the Future is an Awesome Force!

The great gift of the human imagination is that it has no limits or ending.
