One of the key characteristics of successful people is how they view failure. Successful people rarely see failure as fatal; they see it as feedback. When they don't get the desired result, they learn from the experience and try, try, again. The most successful people have developed the ability to deal with massive amounts of rejection. High achievers rarely think of failure as an end in itself. Instead, they believe in delayed success. A loser says, "I can't do it," while a winner says, "I can't do it yet."

What you cannot enforce.
Do not command.

Bite off more than you can chew,
then chew it.
Plan more than you can do,
then do it.
Point your arrow at a star,
take your aim,
and there you are.
Arrange more time than you can spare,
then spare it.
Take on more than you can bear,
then bear it.
Plan your castle in the air,
then build a ship to take you there.

In all things let reason be your guide.

Energy and persistence conquer all things.

Being happy doesn't mean everything is perfect. It means you've decided to see beyond the imperfections...

"It is possible to give without loving, but it is impossible to love without giving".
