We Must Have Courage To Bet On Our Ideas, To Take The Calculated Risk, And To Act. Everyday Living Requires Courage If Life Is To Be Effective And Bring Happiness.

Study The Situation Thoroughly, Go Over In Your Imagination The Various Courses Of Action Possible To You And The Consequences Which Can And May Follow From Each Course. Pick Out The Course Which Gives The Most Promise And Go Ahead.

Live In The Present. The Past Is Gone; The Future Is Unknown -- But The Present Is Real, And Your Opportunities Are Now. You Must See These Opportunities; They Must Be Real For You. The Catch Is That They Can't Seem Real If Your Mind Is Buried In Past Failures, If You Keep Reliving Old Mistakes, Old Guilts, Old Tragedies. Fight Your Way Above The Many Inevitable Traumatizations Of Your Ego, Escape Damnation By The Past, And Look To The Opportunities Of The Present. I Don't Mean Some Vague Moment In The Present -- Next Week Or Next Month, Perhaps. I Mean Today, This Minute.

We, Whoever We Are, Must Have A Daily Goal In Our Lives, No Matter How Small Or Great, To Make That Day Mean Something.
