When contemplating the pursuit of a dream or the start of a new venture, too many people are hesitant to begin because they can't comprehend the entire journey. If that's where you find yourself right now, don't expect to understand what it takes to get to the top. Just take the next step. There's no shame in starting small; in fact, if you don't start small, you'll probably never start at all.

Look at our society. Everyone wants to be thin, but nobody wants to diet. Everyone wants to live long, but few will exercise. Everybody wants money, yet seldom will anyone budget or control their spending.

Inspiring others to do better work is the accomplishment of a leader.

Talent is a gift, but character is a choice.

Everyone you know and all the people you meet have the potential to be someone important in the lives of others.

The dream is free...but the journey will cost you something.

Seek advice, but make sure it's from someone who has successfully handled mistakes or adversities.
