Failure is a trickster with a keen sense of irony and cunning. It takes great delight in tripping one when success is almost within reach.
Everyone enjoys doing the kind of work for which he is best suited.

Every man is what he is, because of the DOMINATING THOUGHTS which he permits to occupy his mind.

DESIRE BACKED BY FAITH knows no such word as impossible.
Deliberately seek the company of people who influence you to THINK AND ACT FOR SELF.
Create a definite plan for carrying out your desire, and begin at once, whether you are ready or not, to put this plan into action.
