]]> One negative stroke is sixteen times more powerful than a positive stroke… And if you have people around you who are not sensitive to who you are… and the people that can hurt you the most ladies and gentlemen are the people that you love, that you love – they’re the ones that you’re vulnerable to, they’re the ones that can get to you… And if they’re insensitive, I don’t care who they are… See if you don’t draw the line with people, if you just let them run rampant in your life and you let things happen to you that you don’t feel good about, if you continue to allow it to happen, you won’t feel good about yourself. Your image of yourself will erode. So you’ve got to draw the line.

]]> If you want a thing bad enough to go out and fight for it,
to work day and night for it,
to give up your time, your peace and your sleep for it…

If all that you dream and scheme is about it,
and life seems useless and worthless without it…

And if you gladly sweat for it and fret for it and plan for it
and lose all your terror of the opposition for it…

And if you simply go after that thing that you want with all of your capacity, strength and sagacity,
faith, hope and confidence and stern pertinacity…

If neither cold, poverty, famish, nor gout, sickness nor pain, of body and brain, can keep you away from the thing that you want…

If dogged and grim you beseech and beset it,
with the help of God, you will get it!
