THE BOTTOM LINE
Author unknown

Face it. Nobody owes you a living.

What you achieve or fail to achieve in your lifetime

is directly related to what you do...

or fail to do.

No one chooses his or her parents or childhood,

but you can choose your own direction.

Everyone has problems and obstacles to overcome,

but that, too, is relative to each individual.

Nothing is carved in stone.

You can change anything in your life

if you want to badly enough...

Excuses are for losers.

Those who take responsibility for their actions

are the real winners in life.

Winners meet life's challenges head on,

knowing no guarantees,

and they give each challenge all they've got.

Never think that it is too late or too early to begin.

Time plays no favorites,

and time will pass whether or not you act.

Take control of your life.

Dare to dream and take some risk...compete.

Be enthusiastic. Show some compassion.

If you are not willing to honestly work for your goals

do not expect others to.

And most importantly...believe in yourself.
