Money cannot buy peace of mind. It cannot heal ruptured relationships, or build meaning into a life that has none.

Few things in the world are more powerful than a positive push. A smile. A world of optimism and hope. A "you can do it" when things are tough.

This is an exciting world. It is cram packed with opportunity. Great moments await around every corner.

If I had to select one quality, one personal characteristic that I regard as being most highly correlated with success, whatever the field, I would pick the trait of persistence. Determination. The will to endure to the end, to get knocked down seventy times and get up off the floor saying, ''Here comes number seventy-one!''

One of the most powerful forces in the world is the will of men and women who believe in themselves, who dare to hope and aim high, who go confidently after the things they want from life.

I have seen countless people make a choice to be confident. If you don't naturally feel bold and confident, you can choose an attitude of confidence.

If you have a dream, give it a chance to happen.
