The pessimist borrows trouble; the optimists lend encouragement.

To the optimist, obstacles aare challenges, roadblocks are inspirations, and problems are invitations to achievement.

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

Everyone has a common, yet unique, responsibility to the future: to make the most of today.

Today's patience can transform yesterday's discouragements into tomorrow's discoveries. Today's purposes can turn yesterday's defeats into tomorrow's determination.

The pessimist complains about the wind; the optimist expects it to change; the realist adjusts the sails.

A success is one who decided to succeed and worked. A failure is one who decided to succeed and wished.
