Inspiration
Everybody can be great … because anybody can serve. You don’t have to have a college degree to serve. You don’t have to make your subject and verb agree to serve. You only need a heart full of grace. A soul generated by love.
If you can’t fly then run, if you can’t run then walk, if you can’t walk then crawl, but whatever you do you have to keep moving forward.
I can accept failure, everyone fails at something. But I can't accept not trying.
Success is no accident. It is hard work, perseverance, learning, studying, sacrifice and most of all, love of what you are doing or learning to do.
A strong, positive self-image is the best possible preparation for success.
The key to life when it gets tough is to keep moving. Just keep moving.
