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.

It is impossible to win the race unless you venture to run, impossible to win the victory unless you dare to battle.

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!''

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.

You make up your mind before you start that sacrifice is part of the package.

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

Great moments await around every corner.
