Most people use excuses to cover up mistakes, but it takes less time to do something right the first time.

Make it a goal to be somebody's hero.

Remember all the people in your life who helped guide you on your road to success. Thank them sincerely and often.

Celebrate each accomplishment on your way to reaching your goal. Each challenge conquered whether large or small is a positive step to greatness.

People tell me I'm a perfectionist. They tell me I'm too extreme and that I work too hard. I tell them, that is all I know how to do. I was taught to give my best effort in everything I do and demand perfection and raise the standard of excellence to a whole new level.

The people who wake up and jump out of bed with energy and enthusiasm are the people who will be smiling all day, go out of their way to help you, and call you by name.
