If you so choose, each day can be filled with even more joy than the one before. If you so choose, even the most seemingly random events can work in your favor.

Adversity is an effective, thorough and highly personalized teacher.

Prepare far enough in advance, and just about anything is possible.

Every moment spent in negativity is paid for with something truly priceless. That something is life.

Concern yourself more with accepting responsibility than with assigning blame. Let the possibilities inspire you more than the obstacles discourage you.

There is no limit to what you can imagine. And with commitment, with effort, what you can imagine you can become. Put your mind to work for you. Believe that you can do it. The world will tell you that you can't. Yet, in your belief you'll find the strength, you'll find the ability, to do it anyway.

Perfection in any endeavor is an aiming point. Let the desire for it push you, but don't let the absence of it stop you.
