First, recognize that you are not a sheep who will be satisfied with only a few nibbles of dry grass or with following the herd as they wander aimlessly, bleating and whining, all of their days. Separate yourself now from the multitude of humanity so that you will be able to control your own destiny. Remember that what others think and say and do need never influence what you think and say and do.

You will achieve your grand dream, a day at a time, so set goals for each day.

Do not listen to those who weep and complain, for their disease is contagious.

And so long as I can laugh, never will I be poor. This then, is one of nature's greatest gifts and I will waste it no more.

Already, it is later than you think for your earthly life at best, is only a blink of an eye between two eternities.

In truth, the only difference between those who have failed and those who have succeeded lies in the difference of their habits. Good habits are the key to all success. Bad habits are the unlocked door to failure. Thus, the first law I will obey, which precedeth all others is - I will form good habits and become their slave.

Without enthusiasm you are doomed to a life of mediocrity, but with it you can accomplish miracles.
