The Art of Success . . . Success is ninety-nine percent mental attitude. It calls for love, joy, optimism, confidence, serenity, poise, faith, courage, cheerfulness, imagination, initiative, tolerance, honesty, humility, patience, and enthusiasm. . . . Success is having the courage to meet failure without being defeated. It is refusing to let present loss interfere with your long-range goal. . . . Success is relative and individual and personal. It is your answer to the problem of making your minutes, hours, days, weeks, months, and years add up to a great life.

Believe! An old Latin proverb reads: "Believe that you have it and you have it."

Laughter is the best medicine for a long and happy life. He who laughs lasts!

The master secret of happiness is to meet the challenge of each new day with the serene faith that: "All things work together for good to them that love God."
