in pictures and words
A journey of a thousand miles must begin with a single step.   Lao Tzu
Habits change into character. Ovid
Success is not something that can be measured or  worn on a watch or hung on the wall.  It is not the esteem of colleagues, or the admiration of the  community.

Success is the certain knowledge that you have become yourself, the person you were  meant to be from all time. That should be reward enough.

Dr. George Sheehan
It is difficulties that show what people are.
Epictus
Every problem contains within itself the seeds of its own solution.  Arnold
Who said it could not be done? And what great victories has he to his credit which qualify him to judge others accurately?
Napoleon Hill
Anyone can carry his burden, however hard, until nightfall.  Anyone can do his work, however hard, for one day.  Anyone can live sweetly, patiently, loving purely, till the sun goes down. And this is all life really means.
Robert Louis Stevenson
Daring ideas are like chessmen moved forward; they may be beaten, but they may start a winning game.
Goethe
The mind is like a clock that is constantly running down; it has to be wound up daily with good thoughts.
Bishop Fulton Sheen
Nothing great was achieved without  enthusiasm.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
We should all be concerned about the future because we will have to spend the rest of our lives there.
Charles Kettering
Four things come not back ; the spoken word, the sped arrow, time past, and the neglected opportunity.
Omar Al Halif
The secret to success without work, is still a secret.
Most problems are really the absence of ideas.
Thinking is the hardest work of all - and that is why so few of us do it.
Don't let what you don't have stop you from using what you do have.
No one can make you look inferior without your consent.
Sometimes, when you  are trying to solve problems, you have to get back to basics, to the essentials, to the beginning.
To achieve what you set our sights on -- that is winning! That is success!
You have the power to choose self-esteem and self-confidence.  You have the power to choose your attitudes, your goals in life and your motivation.
