Of all possessions wisdom alone is immortal The waste basket is the writer's best friend. Risk varies inversely with knowledge I have long considered it one of God's greatest mercies that the future is hidden from us. If it were not, life would surely be unbearable. No one can possibly achieve any real and lasting success or get rich in business by being a conformist. Commitment unlocks the doors of imagination, allows vision, and gives us the "right stuff" to turn our dreams into reality. Love is the difficult realization that something other than oneself is real. Confront your fears, list them, get to know them, and only then will you be able to put them aside and move ahead. You're more likely to act yourself into feeling than feel yourself into action. So act! Whatever it is you know you should do, do it. The accumulation of small, optimistic acts produces quality in our culture and in your life. Our culture resonates in tense times to individual acts of grace. |
