Some wisdom from Norman Vincent Peale

• If you want to get somewhere, you have to know where you want to go and how to get there, then never, never, never give up. 
• The secret of life isn't in what happens to you, but what you do with what happens to you. 
• Help other people to cope with their problems and your own will be easier to cope with. 
• Never use the word “impossible” seriously again – toss it in the verbal wastebasket. 
• Self-trust is the first secret of success. So believe in and trust yourself. 
• Stand up to your obstacles and do something about them. You will find that they haven't half the strength you think they have. 
• Joy increases as you give it, and diminishes as you try to keep it to yourself. In giving it, you will accumulate a deposit of joy greater than you ever believed possible. 
• How you think about a problem is more important than the problem itself-so always think positively. 
• Go at life with abandon; give it all you've got. And life will give all it has to you.
