can be just an ordinary chap, sufficiently motivated to reach
challenging goals.

be and do what really matters most."
Stephen
Covey
In
life, as in football, you won't go far unless you know where the
goalposts are.

plans miscarry because they have no aim. When a man does not know what
harbor he is making for, no wind is the right wind.

up and down the field and never score.
Bill Copeland
It
doesn't matter where you are coming from. All that matters is where you
are going.

unfortunate aspect about living life without your own goals is that you
may very well reach a point in your life where you will wonder, 'what
would have happened if I had only done...
Catherine Pulsifer
Difficulty
is the excuse history never accepts.
Edward R. Murrow
Sometimes,
people use age as a convenient excuse. 'I'm to old too start something
new', or, 'I couldn't learn that at my age.' Other people, though, go on
to acheive their greatest accomplishments in life in later years.
Catherine Pulsifer
Nothing
is impossible; there are ways that lead to everything, and if we had
sufficient will we should always have sufficient means. It is often
merely for an excuse that we say things are impossible.

do a little.
Edmund Burke

if you are on the right track, you will get run over if you just sit
there.
Will
Rogers, 1879-1935
Some
people want it to happen, some wish it would happen ... others make it
happen.
Some
people dream of worthy accomplishments, while others stay awake and do
them.

may not always bring happiness; but there is no happiness without
action.
Benjamin

indispensable first step to getting the things you want out of life is
this: decide what you want.
Ben
Stein
Our
lives are not determined by what happens to us but by how we react to
what happens, not by what life brings to us, but by the attitude we
bring to life. A positive attitude causes a chain reaction of positive
thoughts, events, and outcomes. It is a catalyst, a spark that creates
extraordinary results.
Anon.
The
most important things to say are those which often I did not think
necessary for me to say -- because they were too obvious.
Andre
Gide, The Journals of André Gide
If
you think about disaster, you will get it. Brood about death and you
hasten your demise. Think positively and masterfully, with confidence
and faith, and life becomes more secure, more fraught with action,
richer in achievement and experience.
Edward
Rickenbacker
Whether
you think you can or you can't, you're probably right.
Henry

should all be concerned about the future because we will all have to
spend the rest of our lives there.
