All personal achievement starts within the mind of the individual-knowing your problem is the first step in finding the solution.

I fully realize that no wealth or position can long endure, unless built upon truth and justice, therefore, I will engage in no transaction which does not benefit all whom it affects.

The world is filled with unfortunate souls who didn't hear opportunity knock at the door, because they were down at the convenience stor buying lottery tickets.

The starting point of all achievement is desire.

No matter where you are now, whatever you can conceive and believe, you can achieve.

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.

The imagination is literally the workshop wherein are fashioned all plans created by man.
