YOU HAVE THE POWER TO LIVE YOUR DREAMS.
The day you take complete responsibility for yourself,
the day you stop making any excuses,
that's the day you start moving down the road to success.
No one else can do it for you.
Only you can make it happen.
You're the only one that has to live your life.
Success on any major scale requires you to accept responsibility.
It's up to you to choose the thoughts and actions
that will lead you to success.
Your life will be what you make of it.
Nothing will ever happen by itself.
Success will come your way once you realize
that you have to make it come your way by your own actions.
The power to succeed is yours alone.
IF AT FIRST YOU DON'T SUCEED, TRY, TRY AGAIN
You're not finished when you're defeated,
you're only finished when you quit.
The most important quality essential to success is perseverance.
It overcomes almost everything, even nature.
Winning isn't everything, but wanting to is.
Success is connected with continuous action.
It's largely a matter of hanging on after others have let go.
You can have a fresh start any time you choose,
for your "failure" is not in the falling down, but in the staying down.
It's not over until it's over.
If you've got the courage to stick it out, you can win.
ALWAYS BE PREPARED FOR SUCCESS
There is no shortage of opportunity.
Everyday you're presented with countless opportunities to be,
or do whatever you desire.
Luck is a matter of preparation meeting opportunity.
Don't miss out on an opportunity because you're not prepared.
Your preparation is absolutely essential.
To achieve success, you must have self discipline.
You must increase your knowledge and develop your skills.
You're always at the right place at the right time when you're prepared.

Hopefully the table above has given you some insight into the different
characteristics of entrepreneurs and employees. It is a difficult choice to
make for many. Many aspiring entrepreneurs choose to work for someone else
for a few years to gain knowledge, contacts, and capital. Others feel that
the best way is to start out as an entrepreneur and have the advantage of
quite a few years of learning over their peers. Whichever you decide, just
make sure that the choice is the one that is right for you, not just the one
that everyone wants you to make
