What is hope? Hope is wishing for a thing to come true; faith is believing that it will come true.

Expecting the best means that you put your whole heart (i.e. the central essence of your personality) into what you want to accomplish. People are defeated in life not because of lack of ability, but for lack of wholeheartedness. They do not wholeheartedly expect to succeed. Their heart isn't in it, which is to say, they themselves are not fully given.

Enthusiasm releases the drive to carry you over obstacles and adds significance to all that you do. It tones up your physical vitality and gives warmth to all your personal relationships. When you associate with enthusiasm long enough it grabs you and takes over within you.

Fear is never a reason for quitting; it is only an excuse.

Never forget that all the enthusiasm you need is in your mind. Let it out - let it live - let it motivate you.

Be interesting, be enthusiastic... and don't talk too much.

If you want things to be different, perhaps the answer is to become different yourself.
