YOU CAN DO SOMETHING
Your life will always be to a large extent what you make of it. The mold to your success and fortune are in your hands.
You cannot do everything, but you can do something.
You choose your thoughts and actions. Only you can find success.
Nobody can do it for you. Nobody will do it for you. You have to make it happen.
If you take responsibility for your actions,you can live your dreams.
KNOWLEDGE IS POWER
The most successful people in life are the ones with the best information. People with power are people who know how to get things done.
Knowing how to do something is sometimes virtually the same as having done it.
Knowledge will come to you when your eyes and mind are always open. There is no knowledge that is not power. Power is the product of understanding.
You’ll build the power to accomplish your goals by educating yourself. This power comes from knowing how to do something.
In the land of the blind, the one eyed man is king.
THE HIGHEST OF DISTINCTIONS IS SERVICE TO OTHERS
The truly successful person doesn’t use others, other people use them.
If you can contribute to others, no matter how small your talent, you too can become successful. The measure of anyone is the number of people that they serve.
Service to others is the essence of success.
No one achieves success without being of service.
All great men and women became successful because they gave some talent or ability in the service of others.
Everybody has to be somebody to somebody to be anybody.
SUCCESSFUL PEOPLE FOLLOW THEIR PLAN
You need a plan to find success.
Wanting success isn’t sufficient enough to get it. You’ve got to ask yourself, “What are you going to do to get the things you want.”
Your problem is to bridge the gap which exists between where you are now and the goal you intend to reach.
You cannot fail with a definite step by step plan, because each step you take will carry you along to the next step, like a track.
All you need is the plan, the road map, and the courage to press on to your destination.
You can not get lost on a straight road.
ALWAYS BE PREPARED FOR SUCCESS
There is no shortage of opportunity. Everyday you’re presented with countless opportunities to be, or do whatever you desire.
Luck is a matter of preparation meeting opportunity. Don’t miss out on an opportunity because you’re not prepared.
Your preparation is absolutely essential. To achieve success, you must have self discipline. You must increase your knowledge and develop your skills.
You’re always at the right place at the right time when you’re prepared.
Sooner or later you’ll encounter a crisis in your life, and how you meet it will determine your future happiness and success.
Since the beginning of time, everyone has been called upon to meet such a crisis. Close scrutiny will show you that most “crisis situations” are opportunities to either advance or stay where you are.
Indeed, most changes in your life will be due to either “inspiration” or “desperation.”
Personal growth is the process of responding positively to change. Whatever comes your way, give it meaning and transform it into something of value.
A precious stone cannot be polished without friction, nor humanity perfected without trials.
YOU ARE YOUR ENVIRONMENT
Always be mindful that you’re a product of your environment.
So choose an environment that will best develop you toward your objective.
Analyze your life in terms of your environment.
Are the things around you helping you toward your success, or are they holding you back?
The first step toward getting somewhere is to decide that you’re not going to stay where you are. You’re not a captive of your environment.
If you don’t like where you are, you can make some changes. You’re not planted permanently in the ground like a tree. Don’t say, “You would, if you could,” start saying, “You will, because you can.”
When you become a part of anything it becomes a part of you.
YOUR ASPIRATIONS ARE YOUR POSSIBILITIES
The first ingredient of your success is to dream a great dream.
You must dream big and think big to be big. High expectation always precedes high achievement.
You’re as small as your controlling desires, or as great as your dominant aspirations.
Once your mind stretches to a new idea it will never go back to its original dimensions. If you dream of little goals you can expect little achievement.
Dream of big goals and you’ll win big success.
PEOPLE WITH GOALS SUCCEED
Without goals there is no is no achievement.
A set definitive objective must be established if you are to accomplish anything in a big way.
The first step to getting the things you want out of life is this. Decide what you want. The world will turn aside and let you pass if you know where you are going.
Goals give you a starting place and a destination. Determine what you want. Decide on your major objections, targets, and destination.
You can plant your own dream, with a goal.
MOUNTAINS ARE CLIMBED ONE STEP AT A TIME
Everyone who got where they are had to begin where they were. Your opportunity for success is right in front of you.
To attain success or to reach your goal, don’t worry about having all the answers in advance. You just need to have a clear idea of your goal and move toward it.
Don’t procrastinate when faced with a difficult problem. Break your problems into parts and handle one part at a time.
Develop a tendency toward action. You can make something happen today. Break your big plan for success into small steps and take the first step right away.
Success starts with a first step.
