It's called tomorrow. You can't start next chapter of your life if you keep re-reading the last one. Success is the ability to go from one failure to another with no loss of enthusiasm. Only the people who dare to fail, will achieve big success. All glory comes from daring to begin. The poorest of all people is not the person without a cent, but the person without a dream. Happiness is when what you think, what you say, and what you do are in harmony.

Wear a smile and have friends; wear a scowl and have wrinkles. Strive not to be a success, but rather to be of value. Learn from yesterday, live for today, hope for tomorrow.
