Always desire to learn something useful.
Never complain and never explain.
By failing to prepare, you are preparing to fail.
If you think you can do it, you can.
The wise does at once what the fool does at last.
Be thine own palace, or the world's thy jail.
Either you run the day or the day runs you.
Begin to be now what you will be hereafter.
The most effective way to do it, is to do it.
Be gentle to all and stern with yourself.
I have never forgotten my days as an Eagle Scout. I didn't know it at the time, but what really came out of my Scouting was learning how to lead and serve the community. It has come in handy in my career in government.
