Believe in yourself! Have faith in your abilities! Without a humble but reasonable confidence in your own powers you cannot be successful or happy. I know where I'm going and I know the truth, and I don't have to be what you want me to be. I'm free to be what I want. Never give up; Never give in.
I'm free to be what I want. Always continue the climb. It is possible for you to do whatever you choose, if you first get to know who you are and are willing to work with a power that is greater than ourselves to do it. We are taught you must blame your father, your sisters, your brothers, the school, the teachers - but never blame yourself. It's never your fault. But it's always your fault, because if you wanted to change you're the one who has got to change.
[blockquote author="Unknown"]If you first get to know who you are and are willing to work with a power that is greater than ourselves to do it[/blockquote]Learn from the past, set vivid, detailed goals for the future, and live in the only moment of time over which you have any control: now. Optimism is the faith that leads to achievement. Nothing can be done without hope and confidence. If you can dream it, you can do it. Do it now, not tomorrow. Always continue the climb.
