Don't duck the most difficult problems. That just ensures that the hardest part will be left when you are most tired. Get the big one done - it's downhill from then on.

Don't take tomorrow to bed with you.

Practice hope. As hopefulness becomes a habit, you can achieve a permanently happy spirit.

If you have zest and enthusiasm you attract zest and enthusiasm. Life does give back in kind.

There is a real magic in enthusiasm. It spells the difference between mediocrity and accomplishment.

Be so strong that nothing can disturb your peace of mind. Talk health, happiness, and prosperity to every person you meet. Make all your friends feel there is something special in them. Look at the sunny side of everything. Think only the best, be as enthusiastic about the success of others as you are about your own. Forget the mistakes of the past and press on to the greater achievements of the future. Give everyone a smile. Spend so much time improving yourself that you have no time left to criticize others. Be too big for worry and too noble for anger.

Only the person who risks is truly free. A man's conquest of himself dwarfs the conquest of Mt. Everest.
