"If you want to really feel good, finish one of your projects. Quitting feels good, but finishing feels better. Sometimes we think of how good it would feel to give up on something we are doing. When that happens, take a moment and think of how good it would feel to finish the job, and savor that glow of accomplishment. Many times you will see that it feels better to accomplish something than it does to quit. If you want more joy in your day, then find a challenge and overcome it. Boredom sets in when you aren't challenged. You need to be stretched, to feel pride in what you are doing and who you are. Pick something a little harder than what you have been doing, work on it till you overcome it and see how you feel."
-- Edward W. Smith, Sixty Seconds To Success

"America is a free society. All choices are open to the individual. People can do anything, be anything, go anywhere, change any part of their lives for the better, whenever they want.
