God will not look you over for medals, degrees or diplomas but for scars. Fame is something which must be won; honor, only something which must not be lost. You must pay the price if you wish to secure the blessings. If you want to go fast, go alone. If you want to go far, go together. Be so good that they can't ignore you. It always seems impossible, until it is done. The journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step. Reading an hour a day is only 4% of your day. But that 4% will put you at the top of your field within 10 years. Find the time. The only impossible journey is the one you never begin. After all is said and done, more is said than done.
