"To Achieve Your Dreams Remember Your ABC's
Avoid negative sources, people, places, things and habits. Believe in yourself. Consider things from every angle. Don't give up and don't give in. Enjoy life today, yesterday is gone, tomorrow may never come. Family and friends are hidden treasures, seek them and enjoy their riches. Give more than you planned to.
Hang on to your dreams. Ignore those who try to discourage you. Just do it. Keep trying no matter how hard it seems, it will get easier. Love yourself first and most. Make it happen. Never lie, cheat or steal, always strike a fair deal. Open your eyes and see things as they really are. Practice makes perfect. Quitters never win and winners never quit. Read, study and learn about everything important in your life.
Stop procrastinating. Take control of your own destiny. Understand yourself in order to better understand others. Visualize it. Want it more than anything. ?Excellerate? your efforts. You are unique of all God's creations, nothing can replace YOU. Zero in on your target and go for it!"
Wanda Hope Carter

For out in the world you'll find,
Success begins with a fellow's will,

You've got to be sure of yourself before
You can ever win a prize.

To the stronger or faster man,
But soon or late the man who wins
Is the man who thinks he can."
