THINK AHEAD AND YOU GAIN THE ADVANTAGE

You gain the advantage in any situation through one medium: time

You can do things before they need to be done.

You can position yourself ahead of time in the best place.

 

Think ahead of any approaching action.

Make a plan and you will always have the advantage.

You can be the winner in any situation.

 

Let your advance worrying become advance thinking and planning.

In life, as in chess, forethought wins.

 

The time to repair the roof is when the sun is shining.

Stumbles and frustrations

The stumbles you endure on the way to the top of the mountain do not make the view from the summit any less magnificent. In fact, they make it more precious and full of meaning.
 
Learn from your mistakes and move forward. Each mistake, each frustration has within itself the power to stop you once. Don't add to that power by allowing it to continue stopping you. Get on past it and never look back. It's relatively easy to get past the frustrations. There's no sense in making it more difficult by adding your own regret.
 
The main value of any accomplishment comes from the effort with which it is reached. That's why diamonds, which are rare and difficult to find, are far more valuable than the pebbles which can be found anywhere.
 
The stumbles, the mistakes, the frustrations, the difficult efforts all serve to create value in the accomplishment which is sought. Take them in stride. You can get through them and you will, on your way to achieving exactly what you desire.
 
-- Ralph Marston

There is little...........................................

There is little difference in people, but that little difference makes a big difference. 

The little difference is attitude.  The big difference is whether it is positive or negative."
