If you love to read, you can learn anything you really want to know.

Surrogate fathers and other male figures stepped in to give guidance after my dad died. Businessmen taught me to honor my commitments; others gave me opportunities beyond my wildest imaginations. Authors and speakers set good, solid examples of high standards and lofty goals for me; mature, committed Christians nurtured and instructed me.

Put all excuses aside and remember this: YOU are capable.

You gotta have goals!

Famous archer, Howard Hill won all of the 267 archery contests he entered. He could hit a bullseye at 50 feet, then split first arrow with the second. Would it be possible for you to shoot better than him? YES, if he were blindfolded! How can you hit a target you can't see? Even worse, how can you hit a target you don't even have!? You need to have GOALS in your life!

Even a two-car parade gets fouled up if you don't decide ahead of time who's going to lead.

You cannot perform in a manner inconsistent with the way you see yourself.
