Anger

Anger is a choice.

Persistence

"Nothing in this world can take the place of persistence. Talent will not; nothing is more common than unsuccessful people with talent. Genius will not; unrewarded genius is almost a proverb. Education will not; the world is full of educated derelicts. Persistence and determination alone are omnipotent."

Luck?

I am a great believer in luck. The harder I work, the more of it I seem to have.

-Coleman Cox

Perseverance

Consider the postage stamp; its usefulness consists in the ability to stick to one thing until it gets there.

Red and Rover - My Best Friend

"My Best Friend" by Red. My best friend is a kissing fool. He'll cover your face with a slippery drool. You'll be clean as a whistle yet wet to your neck from a single, slobbery, Rover-dog-peck.

Talent

When I stand before God at the end of my life, I would hope that I would have not a single bit of talent left and could say, "I used everything you gave me".

Smiles

Serving Others

“Do all the good you can,
By all the means you can,
In all the ways you can,
In all the places you can,
At all the times you can,
To all the people you can,
As long as ever you can.”
