"Any fact facing us is not as important as our
attitude toward it, for that determines our success or failure. The way
you think about a fact may defeat you before you ever do anything about
it. You are overcome by the fact because you think you are."
--Norman Vincent Peale
"Is it any coincidence then that the most incredibly
successful people have the most confident and positive
attitudes? Many people think that positive attitude is a by-product of
having achieved wealth and success. In my experience I have found that
this attitude was more often the reason for and not the result of
success." --Mark A. Crouch
