Self-confidence may be mistaken for egotism if it is not accompanied by humility of the heart.

You are fortunate if you have learned the difference between temporary defeat and failure, more fortunate still if you have learned the truth that the very seed of success is dormant in every defeat that you experience.

Your attitude towards problems, difficulties, and adversities is the most important factor in overcoming them.

Most failures could have been converted into successes if someone had held on another minute or made more effort.

Those who approach their jobs and careers with enthusiasm always find plenty of opportunities, while those who complain about no one ever giving them a chance are merely observers of life. When you are determined that you will not allow others to determine your future for you, when you refuse to allow temporary setbacks to defeat you, you are destined for great success. The opportunities will always be there for you.

There would be no advantage to be gained by sowing a field of wheat if the harvest did not return more than was sown.

Most illness begins with a negative mind.
