In order to be successful, you must be willing to fail. Never deny yourself the opportunity to achieve greatness. When you take a risk - that is it’s own reward.

Every time a student tells me “I can’t”, I remind them that it’s an incomplete statement without the word “yet”.

When they use the phrase “I can’t yet”, they understand “not yet” will soon become “now I can”.

A common sense approach to any problem is combining gut reaction with reasonable thought. Too often, people overthink or over-react which makes a simple situation more complicated. Instead, with a measured approach, we can make a complicated situation more simple.

“When you die, the energy that kept you alive filters into the people you loved. It's a fire you've tended all your life, and every spark is scattered into the wind. That is why we survive as long as we do ... because the people who loved us keep us going.”
― Kevin Brockmeier

When we least expect it, life sets us a challenge to test our courage and willingness to change. At such a moment, there is no point in pretending that nothing has happened or in saying that we are not yet ready. The challenge will not wait. Life does not look back.

Hope = merely “wishing”
that your goal be accomplished.
Faith = “believing” it will somehow come true.
Determination & Hard Work = ensuring that your goals are successfully achieved.

Character cannot be developed in ease and quiet. Only through experience of trial and suffering can the soul be strengthened, ambition inspired, and success achieved.
