That's What They Teach in Middle Schools. Feels like we need that refresher, too, once in a while.

These points above are all good.

I would add just a few more:

"Try to be a person of value, not of success." Albert Einstein.

"Whether you think you can or you think you can't, you're right." -Henry Ford

"To handle yourself, use your head; to handle others, use your heart." -Eleanor Roosevelt

"To strive, to seek, to find, and not to yield." Alfred Tennyson

"The question isn't who is going to let me; it's who is going to stop me." -Ayn Rand

"It is never too late to be what you might have been." George Eliot

"Small actions beat big intentions." My own

"We live for the moments to do die for." My own

"When we seek to discover the best in others, we somehow bring out the best in ourselves."? William Arthur Ward

“To be successful, you have to have your heart in your business and your business in your heart.” - Thomas J. Watson Jr.

"If you want to succeed in your life, remember this phrase: That past does not equal the future. Because you failed yesterday, or all day today, or a moment ago, or for the last six months, the last 16 years, or the last 50 years of your life, doesn’t mean anything…" Tony Robbins

And my take on luck:

Do you agree ?
