| "When a man 'gets lucky' and acquires a good position, it is because he has been preparing for that work for years, and not merely because he takes advantage of circumstances.
Fortune always visits those who are prepared to welcome it.
The whole period of our youth is a time that should be used for character formation; in increasing one’s ability to achieve, and careful instruction to prepare for life’s demands.
There is not an hour of our past, that does not contribute to a persons outcome in life. Once each day of our youth is spent, it can never again be utilized.
Each day is a gift, another opportunity, that every man and woman should firmly grasp and squeeze as much from it as possible.
Nothing can work against me or damage me except myself; any harm I sustain, I am responsible for, as I am my own man and I alone decide what I will allow to affect me in any way." |
