Both poverty and riches are the offspring of thought. You need to recognize and sweep aside certain weaknesses which stand between you and your goals. Your persistence develops into a respected, proved, progressive power. Motivation determines what you do. Attitude determines how well you do it.
Persistence is to the character of man what carbon is to steel.
Most people wish for riches, but few people provide the definite plan and burning desire which pave the road to wealth. Attitudes are much more important then aptitudes. The attitudes of your friends are like the buttons on an elevator. They will either take you up or they will take you down. Occupy my mind with motivational monologue.
