Success And Rest Don't Sleep Together.

Never Has There Been A Map, However Carefully Executed To Detail And Scale, Which Has Carried Its Owner Over Even One Inch Of Ground. Never Has There Been A Parchment Of Law, However Fair, Which Prevented One Crime. Never Has There Been A Scroll, Even Such As The One I Hold, Which So Much As A Penny Or Produced A Single Word Of Acclamation. Action, Alone, Is The Tinder Which Ignites The Map, The Parchment, This Scroll, My Plans, My Goals, Into A Living Force. Action Is The Food And Drink Which Will Nourish My Success. I Will Act Now.

How Do I Change? If I Feel Depressed I Will Sing. If I Feel Sad I Will Laugh. If I Feel Ill I Will Double My Labor. If I Feel Fear I Will Plunge Ahead. If I Feel Inferior I Will Wear New Garments. If I Feel Uncertain I Will Raise My Voice. If I Feel Poverty I Will Think Of Wealth To Come. If I Feel Incompetent I Will Think Of Past Success. If I Feel Insignificant I Will Remember My Goals. Today I Will Be The Master Of My Emotions.

The Master Of A Single Trade Can Support A Family. The Master Of Seven Trades Cannot Support Himself. The Wind Is Never For The Sailor Who Knows Not To What Port He Is Bound.

So Long As There Is Breath In Me, That Long Will I Persist.
