What is worth doing, is worth doing well....Let us not be content to wait and see what will happen, but give us the determination to make the right things happen....Obstacles are those frightful things you see when you take your eyes off the target....Focus on the journey, not the destination. Joy is found not in finishing an activity, but by doing it.
