Attitude is the first quality that marks the successful man. If
he has a positive attitude and is a positive thinker, who likes
challenges and difficult situations, then he has half his
success achieved. One the other hand, if he is a negative
thinker who is narrow-minded and refuses to accept new ideas and
has a defeatist attitude, he hasn�t got a chance.
�Lowell Peacock

The people who usually get the most out of life are those who
are prepared to roll with the punches� those who recognize the
fact that they can�t afford to become static and stagnant. The
ability to adapt to new conditions is particularly important
today. We have never lived in times when change has been more
swift in every area of our lives.
�Leon Kulikowski

You can�t control the length of your life, but you can control
its width and depth. You can�t control the weather, but you can
control the moral atmosphere that surrounds you. You can�t
control the other fellow�s annoying faults, but you can see to
it that you do not develop and harbour provoking propensities.
Why worry about things you can�t control? Get busy controlling
the things that depend on you.

Make it a point to do something everyday that you don�t want to
do. This is the golden rule for acquiring the habit of doing
your duty without pain.
