A man should conceive of a legitimate purpose in his heart, and set out
to accomplish it. He should make this purpose the centralizing point of
his thoughts. It may take the form of a spiritual ideal, or it may be a
worldly object, according to his nature at the time being; but whichever
it is, he should steadily focus his thought forces upon the object which
he has set before him. He should make this purpose his supreme duty, and
should devote himself to its attainment, not allowing his thoughts to
wander away into ephemeral fancies, longings, and imaginings. This is the
royal road to self-control and true concentration of thought. Even if he
fails again and again to accomplish his purpose (as he necessarily must
until weakness is overcome), the strength of character gained will be the
measure of his true success, and this will form a new starting point for
future power and triumph.

so constituted as to maximize play. The best games are not those in which
all goes smoothly and steadily toward a certain conclusion, but those in
which the outcome is always in doubt. Similarly, the geometry of life is
designed to keep us at the point of maximum tension between certainty and
uncertainty, order and chaos. Every important call is a close one. We
survive and evolve by the skin of our teeth. We really wouldn't want it
any other way.

Good character is more to be praised than outstanding talent. Most talents
are, to some extent, a gift. Good character, by contrast, is not given to
us. We have to build it piece by piece-by thought, choice, courage and
determination.
