In truth,
the only difference between those who have failed
and those who have succeeded
lies in the difference of their habits.
Good habits are the key to all success.
Bad habits are the unlocked door to failure.
Thus, the first law I will obey,
which precedes all others, is--
"I will form good habits and become their slaves."
First we form habits,
then they form us.
Conquer your bad habits
or they will conquer you.

We grow great by dreams.
All big men are dreamers.
They see things in the soft haze of a spring day
or in the red fire of a long winter's evening.
Some of us let these dreams die,
but others nourish and protect them;
nurse them through bad days
till they bring them to the sunshine
and light which comes always to those who
hope that their dreams will come true.

Every choice carries a consequence.
For better or worse,
each choice is the unavoidable consequence of its predecessor.
There are not exceptions.
If you can accept that a bad choice carries the seed of its own punishment,
why not accept the fact that a good choice yields desirable fruit?
Destiny is not a matter of chance,
it is a matter of choice.
It is not a thing to be waited for;
it is a thing to be achieved.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY DAD
“Feelings of worth can flourish only in an atmosphere where
individual differences are appreciated,
mistakes are tolerated,
communication is open,
and rules are flexible
the kind of atmosphere that is found in a nurturing family.”
“No family is perfect…
we argue, we fight.
We even stop talking to each other at times.
But in the end, family is family…
The love will always be there.”

“You may encounter many defeats,
but you must not be defeated.
In fact, it may be necessary to encounter the defeats,
so you can know who you are,
what you can rise from, how you can still come out of it.”
“It does not matter how slowly you go as long as you do not stop.”
“The man who moves a mountain begins by carrying away small stones.”
“It is not enough that we do our best;
sometimes we must do what is required.”

The galleries are full of critics.
They play no ball, they fight no fights.
They make no mistakes because they attempt nothing.
Down in the arena are the doers.
They make mistakes because they try many things.
The man who makes no mistakes lacks boldness and the spirit of adventure.
He is the one who never tries anything.
His is the brake on the wheel of progress.
And yet it cannot be truly said he makes no mistakes,
because his biggest mistake is the very fact that he tries nothing,
does nothing,
except criticize those who do things.

“You’ll learn, as you get older,
that rules are made to be broken.
Be bold enough to live life on your terms,
and never, ever apologize for it.
Go against the grain,
refuse to conform,
take the road less traveled instead of the well-beaten path.
Laugh in the face of adversity,
and leap before you look.
Dance as though EVERYBODY is watching.
March to the beat of your own drummer.
And stubbornly refuse to fit in.”

There is a quality of life out there on that edge
that tugs at our souls
and calls from us a better quality of person.
Devote today to something so daring
even you can't believe you're doing it.
He who risks and fails can be forgiven.
He who never risks
and never fails
is a failure in his whole being.

Do not wait;
the time will never be "just right."
Start where you stand,
and work with whatever tools you may have at your command,
and better tools will be found as you go along.
Commitment leads to action.
Action brings your dream closer.
Everyday do something
that will inch you closer to a better tomorrow.

You can accept reality,
or you can persist in your purpose until reality accepts you.
When you walk in purpose,
you collide with destiny.
The purpose of life is a life of purpose.
