The good that is in you is the good that you do for others.
The successful man is the one who had the chance and took it.
If things go wrong, don't go with them.
If things are not going well with you, begin your effort at correcting the situation by carefully examining the service you are rendering, and especially the spirit in which you are rendering it.
It is wise to keep in mind that neither success nor failure is ever final.
