Begin to imagine what the desirable outcome would be like. Go over these mental pictures and delineate details and refinements. Play them over and over to yourself.

Admit your mistakes but don't cry over them. Correct them and go forward.

The most delightful surprise in life is to suddenly recognise your own worth.

Your most important sale in life is to sell yourself to yourself.

What is opportunity, and when does it knock? It never knocks. You can wait a whole lifetime, listening, hoping, and you will hear no knocking. None at all. You are opportunity, and you must knock on the door leading to your destiny. You prepare yourself to recognize opportunity, to pursue and seize opportunity as you develop the strength of your personality, and build a self-image with which you are able to live - with your self-respect alive and growing.

Happiness is simply a state of mind in which our thinking is pleasant a good share of the time.

Ignore past failures and forge ahead.
