Never talk defeat. Use words like hope, belief, faith, victory.

Stand up to an obstacle. Just stand up to it, that's all, and don't give way under it, and it will finally break. You will break it. Something has to break, and it won't be you, it will be the obstacle.

If you want a quality, act as if you already have it. If you want to be courageous, act as if you were - and as you act and persevere in acting, so you tend to become.

Throw your heart over the fence and the rest will follow.

Check what you did right and don't get lost in basking on your glory. It will make it easier to repeat whatever you did that created the success.

Christmas is the season of joy, of holiday greetings exchanged, of gift-giving,and of families united.

Do not let circumstances defeat you. You can if you think you can.
