* If you do what you have always done you get what you have always got.
* You are the product of your past thoughts. If you are not satisfied with what you are make decision and think about that decision, dream about you’re the result of your decision, concentrate on it; I promise you will get it. The future of you is now with you. How you think about yourself now and how you see your future this thought will come true.
You will succeed if you have self-respect. If one does not respect herself how can she expect others respect her.
