Never underestimate the repellent power of a negative mental attitude. It can prevent life's lucky breaks from benefiting you.

You are a product of your environment. So choose the environment that will best develop you toward your objective. Analyze your life in terms of its environment. Are the things around you helping you toward success - or are they holding you back?

It takes less work to succeed than to fail.

When you become successful and a depression or any other unfavorable circumstance arises which causes you a loss or defeat, act on the self-motivator: Success is achieved by those who try and maintained by those who keep trying with a positive mental attitude. This is the way to avoid being crushed.

Bring into reality the possibility of the improbable by acquiring a positive mental attitude. Say to yourself, as Henry Ford said to his engineers, "Keep working!"

Events tend to recur in cycles.

Greatness comes to those who develop a burning desire to achieve high goals.
