Greatness is not found in possessions, power, position, or prestige. It is discovered in goodness, humility, service, and character.

Every person has the power to make others happy. Some do it simply by entering a room others by leaving the room. Some individuals leave trails of gloom; others, trails of joy. Some leave trails of hate and bitterness; others, trails of love and harmony. Some leave trails of cynicism and pessimism; others trails of faith and optimism. Some leave trails of criticism and resignation; others trails of gratitude and hope. What kind of trails do you leave?

In the face of unjust criticism we can become bitter or better; upset or understanding; hostile or humble; furious or forgiving.

The price of excellence is discipline. The cost of mediocrity is disappointment.
