“That which we persist in doing becomes easier to do, not that the nature of the thing has changed but that our power to do has increased.”
“One difference between those who make it and those who don't--regardless of their field of endeavor--is not the "talent" difference. Those who go over the top have a dream and the dream has them. They make the commitment and pursue that dream with dogged patience and persistence. Commitment produces consistent, enthusiastic effort that inevitably produces greater and greater rewards.”
“Enthusiasm is one of the most powerful engines of success. When you do a thing, do it with all your might.”
