Life is too short to spend your precious time trying to convince a person who wants to live in gloom and doom otherwise. Give lifting that person your best shot, but don't hang around long enough for his/her bad attitude to pull you down. Instead, surround yourself with optimistic people.

If you have the character to hang in there when its tough, you will develop or acquire every other characteristic necessary to WIN in the game of life.

Time can be an ally or an enemy. What it becomes depends entirely upon you, your goals, and your determination to use every available minute.

Don't let the mistakes and disappointments of the past control and direct your future.

Success occurs when opportunity meets preparation

You do not pay the price of success, you enjoy the price of success.

When you stop planning and preparing . . . you stop winning.
