Asking is the beginning of receiving. Make sure you don't go to the ocean with a teaspoon. At least take a bucket so the kids won't laugh at you.
I have not failed 700 times, I have not failed once. I have succeeded in proving those 700 ways will not work. When I have eliminated the ways that will not work, I will find the way that will work
Mastering others is strength. Mastering yourself is true power.
A person, who no matter how desperate the situation, gives others hope, is a true leader.
