In every crisis there is a message.
Crises are nature''s way of forcing change--
breaking down old structures,
shaking loose negative habits
so that something new and better
can take their place.
Be more concerned with your character
than your reputation,
because your character is what you really are,
while your reputation
is merely what others think you are.
Before you start some work, always ask yourself three questions -
Why am I doing it,
What the results might be and
Will I be successful.
Only when you think deeply and find satisfactory answers to these questions, go ahead
Pressure is nither good or bad.
You can convert pressure into
negative tension and worry-
or positive expectation and
enthusiasm. It''s a choice you make
yourself.
Desire is the key to motivation. . .
but it''s determination and commitment
to an unrelenting pursuit of your goal
a commitment to excellence
that will enable you to attain the success you seek. . .
I do not wish to treat friendships daintily, but with the roughest courage. When they are real, they are not glass threads or frost-work, but the solidest thing we know.
