"Shoot for the moon. Even if you miss, you'll land among the stars." -- Les Brown

[Shelley]

“We've been waiting for the sun to rise and shine
If you don’t know what to do about a world of trouble
You can pull it through if you need to and if
You believe it’s true, it will surely happen
Shining still, to give us the will
Bright as the day, to show us the way”

Utopia, “Just One Victory”

Truths to Remember

1. Attitude is central to everything else. Life tends to become what we think it will be.

2. Focus your time and resources; don't become distracted; work smarter not harder.

3. Take action: Goals are nothing until you act on them. Start now, just do it.

4. Intellectual brilliance is less important to success than help from friends.

5. Innovate: Don't be afraid to be different, as following the herd is the surest way to mediocrity.

6. Analyze the details, get the facts. Those who think before they speak seldom trip over their words.

7. Good intentions pave the Highways to Hell. Wise actions pave the Streets to Success.

8. Never stop learning. There's no such thing as knowing too much.

9. Those who prepare when it isn't important, usually win when it is.

10. Deceit, selfishness, and injustice result in failure. Honesty, integrity, and fairness lead toward success.

11. Remain focused on problem-solving and success. In the long run, fear, doubt and worry do you no good.

12. Be persistent and work toward your goals. Don't ever give up on your dreams.

13. If you seek forgiveness, ensure that you yourself have been fair when judging others.

14. Be chary of giving advice -- wise folks seldom need it, and fools seldom heed it.

Take every day as given and make the best of it. Have a good day :^)
