1.

Before you start some work, always ask yourself three questions - Why am I doing it, what the results might be and will I be successful. Only when you think deeply and find satisfactory answers to these questions, go ahead. 2. Once you start working on something, don't be afraid of failure and don't abandon it. People who work sincerely are the happiest. 3. Purity of speech, of the mind, of the senses, and of a compassionate heart are needed by one who desires to rise to the divine platform. 4. We should not fret for what is past, nor should we be anxious about the future; men of discernment deal only with the present moment. 5. All that I am, or hope to be, I owe to my angel mother. 6. Always bear in mind that your own resolution to succeed is more important than any one thing. 7. I remember my mother's prayers and they have always followed me. They have clung to me all my life. 8. I will prepare and some day my chance will come. 9. You have to do your own growing no matter how tall your grandfather was. 10. "Do the thing you fear to do and just keep on doing it. That is the quickest and surest way ever discovered to conquer fear." 11. A talent is formed in stillness; a character is the world's torrent."

12. Be the most honest person you know. 13. Elite performers on the playing field of life focus on the worthy (and say no to the unimportant). 14. "One who works in devotion, who is a pure soul, and who controls his mind and senses, is dear to everyone, and everyone is dear to him." --Bhagavad-Gita

15. Never expect things to happen... Struggle and make them happen. 16. Condemn none: if you can stretch out a helping hand, do so. If you cannot, fold your hands, bless your brothers, and let them go their own way. 17. Take up one idea. Make that one idea your life - think of it, dream of it, and live on that idea. Let the brain, muscles, nerves, every part of your body, be full of that idea, and just leave every other idea alone. This is the way to success that is way great spiritual giants are produced. 18. We are responsible for what we are, and whatever we wish ourselves to be, we have the power to make ourselves. If what we are now has been the result of our own past actions, it certainly follows that whatever we wish to be in future can be produced by our present actions; so we have to know how to act. 19. Work, Work and Work Let this be your motto.
