We judge ourselves by what we feel capable of doing, while others judge us by what we have already done." Longfellow "Life has no limitations, except the ones you make.
At the end of the day, it's important to know what really matters most in life...your sanity, your health, your family, and the ability to start anew.
We must look for ways to be an active force in our own lives. We must take charge of our own destinies, design a life of substance and truly begin to live our dreams.
In day-to-day commerce, television is not so much interested in the business of communications as in the business of delivering audiences to advertisers. People are the merchandise, not the shows. The shows are merely the bait.
Most people fail in life not because they aim too high and miss, but because they aim too low and hit.

Your goals are the road maps that guide you and show you what is possible for your life.
Your ability to communicate is an important tool in your pursuit of your goals, whether it is with your family, your co-workers or your clients and customers.
