Will what I am about to do, bring me closer to, or take me further from my goals?

This I do know beyond any reasonable doubt. Regardless of what you are doing, if you pump long enough, hard enough and enthusiastically enough, sooner or later the effort will bring forth the reward.

Success means doing the best we can with what we have. Success is the doing, not the getting - in the trying, not the triumph. Success is a personal standard - reaching for the highest that is in us - becoming all that we can be. If we do our best, we are a success. Success is the maximum utilization of the ability that you have.

We can let our past [difficulties and failures] beat us or teach us [to be more knowledgeable, competent and realistic in the future]!

Success is one thing you can't pay for. You buy it on the installment plan and make payments everyday.

The right quote can inspire people to change their ways.

When we do more than we are paid to do, eventually we will be paid more for what we do.
