Quote from Mahatma Gandhi:

Your beliefs become your thoughts,

Your thoughts become your words, Your words become your actions, Your actions become your habits, Your habits become your values, Your values become your destiny.

Thinking by Walter Wintle

If you think you are beaten, you are,If you think you dare not, you don’t.If you like to win, but you think you can’t,It is almost certain you won’t.

If you think you’ll lose, you’re lost,For out in the world we find,Success begins with a fellow’s will.It’s all in the state of mind.

Life’s battles don’t always goTo the stronger or faster man.But soon or late the man who wins,Is the man who thinks he can.”

(written in late 19th or early 20th century)

Redefine SuccessBEST you can hope to for today? Get HIRED!
