Success is largely a matter of holding on after others have let go!

• A year from now you may wish you had started today.
• The question isn’t who is going to let me; it’s who is going to stop me.
• Success is the sum of small efforts, repeated day-in and day-out.
• I find that the harder I work, the more luck I seem to have.
• If people did not do silly things, nothing intelligent would ever get done.
• Before anything else, preparation is the key to success.

Action is the foundational key to all success

In life there will be road blocks but we will over come it. Another one. Learning is cool, but knowing is better, and I know the key to success. The key to more success is to get a massage once a week, very important, major key, cloth talk. I told you all this before, when you have a swimming pool, do not use chlorine, use salt water, the healing, salt water is the healing. I’m up to something. Life is what you make it, so let’s make it. The other day the grass was brown, now it’s green because I ain’t give up. Never surrender.

You see that bamboo behind me though, you see that bamboo? Ain’t nothin’ like bamboo. Bless up. Another one. Give thanks to the most high. A major key, never panic. Don’t panic, when it gets crazy and rough, don’t panic, stay calm. The key to more success is to have a lot of pillows. Eliptical talk. They key is to have every key, the key to open every door. Always remember in the jungle there’s a lot of they in there, after you overcome they, you will make it to paradise.
