I do not seek. I find. When you cease to make a contribution you begin to die. Normal is not something to aspire to, it is something to get away from. Success or failure depends more upon attitude than upon capacity. Successful people act as though they have accomplished or are enjoying something. Soon it becomes a reality. Act, look, feel successful, conduct yourself accordingly, and you will be amazed at the positive results. A man may fall many times but he will not be a failure until he says someone pushed him.

When you cease to make a contribution you begin to die. Don't Sweat the Small Stuff ...and it's All Small Stuff. Nothing determines who we will become so much as those things we choose to ignore. If you are never scared or embarrassed or hurt, it means you never take chances. Self-image sets the boundaries of individual accomplishment. Men who try to do something and fail are infinitely better off than those who try to do nothing and succeed. The rich substance of the Universe is yours to do with as you wish. Why settle for so little in life when you can have so much, just be daring to be different in your thinking. One machine can do the work of fifty ordinary men. No machine can do the work of one extraordinary man.

Quit now, you will never make it. If you disregard this advice, you will be halfway there. Do not play for safety; it is the most dangerous thing in the world. I am only one, but still I am one. I cannot do everything, but still I can do something; and because I cannot do everything, I will not refuse to do something I can do. Failure should be our teacher, not our undertaker. Failure is delay, not defeat. It is a temporary detour, not a dead end. Failure is something we can avoid only by saying nothing, doing nothing, and being nothing. I do not seek. I find. If you are never scared or embarrassed or hurt, it means you never take chances. What lies before us and what lies beyond us is tiny compared to what lies within us.
