Never be thrown off stride in how you behave or what you believe in because of outside events.
The choice you make, makes you.
You never want to confuse activity with accomplishment.
Many ... have tremendous God-given gifts, but they don't focus on the development of those gifts. Who are these individuals? You've never heard of them- and you never will .
A good banker isn't careless with pennies; a good leader isn't sloppy about details.
Don't get discouraged: it is often the last key in the bunch that opens the lock. Ability may get you to the top, but it takes character to keep you there.
