You can begin to be great to-day in your own home, in your store or office, on the street, everywhere; you can begin to make yourself known as great; and you can do this by doing everything you do in a great way

Doing what you want to do is life.

Never admit the possibility of failure, or speak in a way that infers failure as a possibility.

Fix upon your ideal of what you wish to make of yourself.

You still indulge in distrustful fears that things will go wrong, or that people will betray you, or mistreat you; get above all of them.

You are not barred from attaining greatness by heredity. No matter who or what your ancestors may have been or how unlearned or lowly their station, the upward way is open for you. There is no such thing as inheriting a fixed mental position; no matter how small the mental capital we receive from our parents, it may be increased; no man is incapable of growth.

The object of all life is development; and everything that lives has an inalienable right to all the development it is capable of attaining
