Even if things don't unfold the way you expected, don't be disheartened or give up. One who continues to advance will win in the end.

- Consistency is one of the secrets of all truly successful people. Once you know what works in any area of your life, keep doing it over and over. Imagine a triangle with Consistency on the lower left corner, Persistence on the lower right corner and Omnipotence at the top. When we are consistent in any belief, attitude or behavior, it develops a spirit of Persistence, that empowers you to overcome insurmountable obstacles. What you are consistent in, creates an instinctive ability to keep on keeping on (Persistence). The impossible becomes possible. The complex is made simple and transgressing the difficult becomes an instinctive way of life. Think Consistent...Be Persistent...Do Omnipotence.
- There are no shortcuts to greatness.
- You have to do more than just 'Go GET' what you want in life; you must GO GRIT IT!"
- Persistence is to keep doing what you know to do, even when doing what you know to do, doesn't seem to be getting any results...knowing that the greatest outcome of doing what you know to do is what YOU BECOME in the process, not what you get from Doing the Process.
- Don't make a tragedy of a simple failure. Study your capabilities first, and if you have overrated their strength, try again, going more slowly.
- Thousands of people start out right, but they have not the power of will to continue, so that where ten thousand make a good beginning, less than a score finish the race.
