“How true! Life's problems are like trees. We see the trunk, we see the branches and the leaves. But we can't see the roots, hidden deep down under the ground.

“But take note: Never express, through words or acts, something that does not harmonize with your beliefs—or you will lose the ability to influence others.

It is only when I write with the fire of enthusiasm that my writing impresses others. It is only when I speak from a heart that is bursting with belief in my message that I can move my audience to accept it.”
