When You're Not Goal-striving, Not Looking Forward,

What Is Opportunity, And When Does It Knock? It Never Knocks. You Can Wait A Whole Lifetime, Listening, Hoping, And You Will Hear No Knocking. None At All. You Are Opportunity, And You Must Knock On The Door Leading To Your Destiny. You Prepare Yourself To Recognize Opportunity, To Pursue And Seize Opportunity As You Develop The Strength Of Your Personality, And Build A Self-image With Which You Are Able To Live - With Your Self-respect Alive And Growing.

You Will Act Like The Sort Of Person You Conceive Yourself To Be.

Get Into The Habit Of Laughing; Too Many Of Us Have Forgotten How To Laugh. As People Grow Older, They Sometimes Forget That They Ever Laughed. It Is A Part Of Their Childhood That They Can No Longer Remember.

Often The Difference Between A Successful Man And A Failure Is Not One's Better Abilities Or Ideas, But The Courage That One Has To Bet On His Ideas, To Take A Calculated Risk — And To Act.

Do Your Worrying Before You Place Your Bet, Not After The Wheel Stops Turning.
