Hang on the walls of your mind the memory of your successes. Take counsel of your strength, not your weakness. Think of the good jobs you have done. For whenever excellence is recounted, it is increased.

Building a successful life is much like building anything else: it should be thoroughly thought about in advance and then carried through to completion.
