The rewards for those who persevere far exceed the pain that must precede the victory. People with goals succeed because they know where they're going. The highest reward for a person's toil is not what they get for it, but what they become by it. Those who bring sunshine to the lives of others cannot keep it from themselves. Remember, no-one can make you feel inferior without your consent.
All great truths begin as blasphemies.
Success seems to be largely a matter of hanging on after others have let go. I have learned that success is to be measured not so much by the position that one has reached in life as by the obstacles which one has overcome while trying to succeed. You can get almost everything accomplished if you don't mind who gets the credit. Success is a journey, not a destination. Do what you love, love what you do.
