Thoughts—Success	
QUICK CHECK:	
Success and failure go hand in hand.
Few things in life go exactly as planned.	
When faced with adversity, stand firm and be strong.
If you follow your heart, it won’t steer you wrong.
You will make mistakes, of that have no doubt,	
but that’s what learning is all about.	
Just believe in yourself, 	
there’s nothing you can’t do.	
The future is limitless, and it belongs to you!	
—Francesca DiMaggio Topper	
Think you can or think you can’t; either way you 
will be right.     —Henry Ford
The dictionary is the only place that success comes 
before work.  Hard work is the price we must pay 
for success.  I think you can accomplish almost 
anything if you’re willing to pay the price.
     —Vince Lombardi
Everyone who got where he is had to begin where 
he was.   —Richard L. Evans
Do not wait; the time will never be "just right."  
Start where you stand, and work with whatever tools 
you may have at your command, and better tools 
will be found as you go along.       —Napoleon Hill
It was on my fifth birthday that Papa put his hand on 
my shoulder and said, "Remember, my son, if you 
ever need a helping hand, you’ll find one at the end 
of your arm."      —Sam Levenson
I am a success today because I had a friend who 
believed in me, and I didn't have the heart to let him 
down.     —Abraham Lincoln
Kites rise highest against the wind, not with it.
    —Winston Churchill
People do not succeed unless they have fun in what

Waiting for the president to tell us what to do.
Waiting for the counselor to help us not be blue.
Waiting for the doctor to give us some pills;	
Just a little bit of something to cure us of our ills.	
Always looking for assistance	
From one who is deified
When the real magician
Waits patiently inside you.	
—Jack Rickard
