The real tragedy of life is not in being limited to one talent, but in the failure to use that one talent. When there is a start to be made, don't step over! Start where you are. I'd like to be the sort of friend that you have been to me, I'd like to be the help that you've been always glad to be; I'd like to mean as much to you each minute of the day, as you have meant old friend of mine, to me along the way. There are countless ways of attaining greatness, but any road to reaching one's maximum potential must be built on a bedrock of respect for the individual, a commitment to excellence, and a rejection of mediocrity. Friends are those rare people who ask how we are and then wait to hear the answer. I would rather have a million friends than a million dollars. Have the courage to act instead of react. Everything I did in my life that was worthwhile, I caught hell for. to all sorts of serendipitous opportunities that were somehow absent before the change. A great attitude does much more than turn on the lights in our worlds; it seems to magically connect us to all sorts of serendipitous opportunities that were somehow absent before the change. |
