One of my clearest memories from childhood is of a spring morning when I was six, sitting on the front porch waiting for the school bus, and reading my first complete Peanuts book. Not only did that book inspire in me a love of reading, but a love for the adventures of Snoopy, Charlie Brown, Linus, and the whole Peanuts gang. Charlie Brown often sat in bed and spoke of his fears, but no matter how scared he was, he always did the things he wanted to do.
Persistence wins out.
Charlie Brown often lost, failed at much, but he never gave up. Even though he knew his team would lose the ball game, he kept on trying. It's what you think of yourself that counts. Linus carried a security blanket for years and his friends laughed at him. Pigpen was a walking cloud of dust and dirt and was often regarded unkindly.
