"You can never plan the future by the past"
-Edmund Burke
"You must break out of your current comfort zone and become comfortable with the unfamiliar and the unknown."
-- Denis Waitley
The person with a fixed goal, a clear picture of his desire, or an ideal always before him, causes it, through repetition, to be buried deeply in his subconscious mind and is thus enabled, thanks to its generative and sustaining power, to realize his goal in a minimum of time and with a minimum of physical effort. Just pursue the thought unceasingly. Step by step you will achieve realization, for all your faculties and powers become directed to that end.
Claude M. Bristol

Thomas Jefferson
To be a person is to have a story to tell.

Exert your talents, and distinguish yourself, and don't think of retiring from the world, until the world will be sorry that you retire.
