Most Humans, In Varying Degrees, Are Already Dead. In One Way Or Another They Have Lost Their Dreams, Their Ambitions, Their Desire For A Better Life. They Have Surrendered Their Fight For Self-esteem And They Have Compromised Their Great Potential. They Have Settled For A Life Of Mediocrity, Days Of Despair And Nights Of Tears. They Are No More Than Living Deaths Confined To Cemeteries Of Their Choice. Yet They Need Not Remain In That State. They Can Be Resurrected From Their Sorry Condition. They Can Each Perform The Greatest Miracle In The World. They Can Each Come Back From The Dead.

Every Memorable Act In The History Of The World Is A Triumph Of Enthusiasm. Nothing Great Was Ever Achieved Without It Because It Gives Any Challenge Or Any Occupation, No Mater How Frightening Or Difficult, A New Meaning. Without Enthusiasm You Are Doomed To A Life Of Mediocrity But With It You Can Accomplish Miracles

Now I Know That Patience And Time Can Do More Than Even Strength And Passion. The Years Of Frustration Are Ready To Be Harvested. All That I Have Managed To Accomplish, And All That I Hope To Accomplish, Has Been And Will Be By That Plodding, Patient, Persevering Process Which Builds The Ant Heap, Particle By Particle, Thought By Thought, Step By Step.

Never Neglect The Little Things. Never Skimp On That Extra Effort, That Additional Few Minutes, That Soft Word Of Praise Or Thanks, That Delivery Of The Very Best That You Can Do. It Does Not Matter What Others Think, It Is Of Prime Importance, However, What You Think About You. You Can Never Do Your Best, Which Should Always Be Your Trademark, If You Are Cutting Corners And Shirking Responsibilities. You Are Special. Act It. Never Neglect The Little Things.

Most Humans, In Varying Degrees, Are Already Dead. In One Way Or Another They Have Lost Their Dreams, Their Ambitions, Their Desire For A Better Life. They Have Surrendered Their Fight For Self-esteem And They Have Compromised Their Great Potential. They Have Settled For A Life Of Mediocrity, Days Of Despair And Nights Of Tears. They Are No More Than Living Deaths Confined To Cemeteries Of Their Choice. Yet They Need Not Remain In That State. They Can Be Resurrected From Their Sorry Condition. They Can Each Perform The Greatest Miracle In The World. They Can Each Come Back From The Dead.

For The Rest Of My Life There Are Two Days That Will Never Again Trouble Me. The First Day Is Yesterday With All Its Blunders And Tears, Follies And Defeats. Yesterday Has Passed Away, Beyond My Control Forever. The Other Day Is Tomorrow With All Its Pitfalls And Threats, Its Dangers And Mystery. Until The Sun Rises Again I Have No Stake In Tomorrow, For It Is Still Unborn.

I Will Welcome Happiness For It Enlarges My Heart; Yet I Will Endure Sadness For It Opens My Soul. I Will Acknowledge Rewards For They Are My Due; Yet I Will Welcome Obstacles For They Are My Challenge.

And So Long As I Can Laugh, Never Will I Be Poor. This Then, Is One Of Nature's Greatest Gifts And I Will Waste It No More.

The Road To Success, For Me, Was A Long And Arduous Journey, Strewn With Obstacles And Traps, Pitfalls And Hurdles-all Created By Myself. Painful As It Is, I Speak Of Those Sad And Frustrating Times Whenever I Am Invited To Address Sales Gatherings, Corporate Conventions, And Success Rallies, In The Hope That My Personal Experiences Will Serve As Sufficient Evidence For All Who Hear Me That They Have It In Their Own Power To Make Their Lives As Glorious Or As Terrible As They Choose.

Nothing Is Easier Than Fault Finding.

First, Recognize That You Are Not A Sheep Who Will Be Satisfied With Only A Few Nibbles Of Dry Grass Or With Following The Herd As They Wander Aimlessly, Bleating And Whining, All Of Their Days.

And Even If You Have Failed At All Else In The Eyes Of The World, If You Have A Loving Family, You Are A Success.

Wealth, My Son, Should Never Be Your Goal In Life. Your Words Are Eloquent But They Are Mere Words. True Wealth Is Of The Heart, Not Of The Purse.

The Only Certain Means Of Success Is To Render More And Better Service Than Is Expected Of You, No Matter What The Task May Be. This Is A Habit Followed By All Successful People Since The Beginning Of Time. Therefore I Saith The Surest Way To Doom Yourself To Mediocrity Is To Perform Only The Work For Which You Are Paid.

Always Render More And Better Service Than Is Expected Of You, No Matter What Your Task May Be.

I Will Laugh At The World! Never Will I Allow Myself To Become So Important, So Wise, So Dignified, So Powerful, That I Forget How To Laugh At Myself And My World.and So Long As I Can Laugh Never Will I Be Poor

Never Will I Pray For The Material Things Of The World. I Am Not Calling To A Servant To Bring Me Food. I Am Not Ordering An Innkeeper To Provide Me With Room. Never Will I Seek Delivery Of Gold, Love, Good Health, Petty Victories, Fame, Success, Or Happiness. Only For Guidance Will I Pray, That I May Be Shown The Way To Acquire These Things, And My Prayer Will Always Be Answered.

Never Has There Been A Parchment Of Law, However Fair, Which Prevented One Crime. Never Has There Been A Scroll, Even Such As The One I Hold, Which So Much As A Penny Or Produced A Single Word Of Acclamation. Action, Alone, Is The Tinder Which Ignites The Map, The Parchment, This Scroll, My Plans, My Goals, Into A Living Force. Action Is The Food And Drink Which Will Nourish My Success. I Will Act Now.

Green Grass Grows Where Dry Desert Ends.

To Be Always Intending To Make A New And Better Life But Never To Find Time To Set About It Is As To Put Off Eating And Drinking And Sleeping From One Day To The Next Until You're Dead.
