When you give directives to a child, especially a teenager, you must consider the nature of your child.

You gotta climb the steps... you can't skip them

Far too many people make promises they can never keep. They may have the best intentions in the world to keep their promise-but if they have not made a plan to keep it, they will not be able to do it.

Most people consider me an optimist because I laughingly state that I would take my last two dollars and buy a money belt.

Every time passionate people fail, they are convinced that they are simply one step closer to fulfilling their dream.

Your attitude, not your aptitude, will determine your altitude.

It's not where you start but where you finish that counts.
