Success is not measured by what you do compared to what somebody else does. Success is measured by what you do compared to what you are capable of doing.

You build a successful career, regardless of your field of endeavor, by the dozens of little things you do on and off the job.

To respond is positive, to react is negative.

Everyone, including you, just naturally feels better when exposed to a cheerful, optimistic individual, regardless of the nature or length of the contact.

As long as you can laugh at you, it won't bother you when others laugh at you.

With integrity you have nothing to fear, since you have nothing to hide. With integrity you will do the right thing, so you will have no guilt. With fear and guilt removed you are free to be and do your best.

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.
