The greatness comes not when things go always good for you. But the greatness comes when you're really tested, when you take some knocks, some disappointments, when sadness comes.

[pmitch10]

My son was in a prison program once and they used a study book by Napolean Hill. It was called, "Science of Success," and it had 17 educational lessons in it.
This would make a great course for any inmate or even the guards to learn from as it teaches real life lessons. I kept the book as I was impressed with it.

LONG ONE BUT GOODIE PEEPZ : )

Today's Daily Inspiration

When things go wrong as they sometimes will, When the road you're trudging seems all up hill, When the funds are low and the debts are high, And you want to smile, but you have to sigh, When care is pressing you down a bit, Rest if you must, but don't you quit. Life is queer with its twists and turns, As every one of us sometimes learns, And many a failure turns about, When he might have won had he stuck it out. Don't give up though the pace seems slow--You may succeed with another blow, Success is failure turned inside out--The silver tint of the clouds of doubt, And you never can tell how close you are, It may be near when it seems so far; So stick to the fight when you're hardest hit--It's when things seem worst that you must not quit.
