Here is an old Oriental proverb: *A journey of a thousand miles begins with one step.* It is difficult to anticipate just how a situation will develop in every detail until you take a step forward and try out your present equipment. Then, if weaknesses appear, you will have clues as to how to strengthen your resources. No scheme or plan is perfect. Perfection is a process, not an end.

Positive and negative emotions cannot occupy the mind at the same time.

No man can afford to express, through words or acts, that which is not in harmony with his own beliefs, and if he does so, he must pay by the loss of his ability to influence others.

You are the master of your destiny. You can influence, direct and control your own environment. You can make your life what you want it to be.

Deliberately seek the company of people who influence you to think and act on building the life you desire.

You’ve got to be sure of yourself before You can ever win a prize.

Both success and failure are largely the results of HABIT!
