Mistakes are merely steps up the ladder.

Goal setting is the most important aspect of all improvement and personal development plans. Confidence is important, determination is vital, certain personality traits contribute to success, but they all come into focus in goal setting.

Enthusiasm is the yeast that raises the dough.

Success is the progressive realization of predetermined, worthwhile, personal goals.

Crystallize your goals. Make a plan for achieving them and set yourself a deadline. Then, with supreme confidence, determination and disregard for obstacles and other people's criticisms, carry out your plan.

Construct your determination with sustained effort, controlled attention, and concentrated energy. Opportunities never come to those who wait ... they are captured by those who dare to attack.

Concentrate on your strengths, instead of your weaknesses... on your powers, instead of your problems.
