To be so strong that nothing can disturb your peace of mind.
*********
To talk health, happiness and prosperity to every person you meet.
*********
To make all your friends feel that there is something in them.
*********
To look at the sunny side of everything and make your optimism come true.
*********
To think only of the best, to work only for the best, and to expect only the best.
*********
To be just as enthusiastic about the success of others as you are about your own.
*********
To forget the mistakes of the past and press on to the greater achievements of the future.
*********
To wear a cheerful countenance at all times and give every living creature you meet a smile.
*********
To give so much time to the improvement of yourself that you have no time to criticize others.
*********
To be too large for worry, too noble for anger, too strong for fear, and too happy to permit the presence of trouble.
*********

Inspiration...
Most of us underestimate the time it takes to achieve anything of lasting value. You've got to be willing to pay your dues. James Watt spent 20 years laboring to perfect the steam engine. William Harvey worked day and night for 8 years to demonstrate how blond circulated in the human body. Then it took him another 25 years to convince the medical establishment he was right.
Cutting Corners is a sign of impatience and poor self-discipline. The way to any breakthrough is to follow through! Albert Grey says, "The common denominator of all success lies in forming the habit of doing things that failures don't like to do." If you find yourself continually giving in to your moods and impulses, you need to change your approach to doing things. The best method is to set standards for yourself that require accountability. Suffering a consequence for not following through will keep you an track like nothing else. Once your new standards are in place, work according to them, not your moods; that'll get you going in the right direction.
Self-discipline is a quality that's only won through practice. Successful people have learned to do what does not come naturally. They're willing to confront discomfort, distractions, fear, and act in spite of them. R. H. Macy, founder of Macy's Department Stores, failed at 5 different professions — whaler, retailer, gold-miner, Stockbroker, real estate broker — before he finally succeeded. What sustained him through failure after failure? Two things: purpose and persistence! That's what separates those who achieve, from those who merely dream!
