Excellence gives us the confidence we need to achieve balance. Confidence comes from competence and excellence, not just from positive thinking. It comes from knowledge, skills, and experience. It comes from the people you keep company with, television programs you watch, books you read, and CDs you listen to.
Confidence leads to commitment; commitment means that you will get the job done without excuses.
If education is expensive, ignorance can cost you more. Invest in education, for it is worth the cost.
“When it comes to the seduction of total commitment, yield,” advised Dr. Joyce Brothers, psychologist, author, and television personality.
