And that's your own self.

It reflects back to you what you are.
If you are loving, if you are friendly,
If you are helpful, the world will prove
Loving and friendly and helpful to you.
The world is what you are.

You are never a failure until you accept defeat
As permanent and quit trying.

Napoleon Hill

Great minds have purposes, others have wishes.
Little minds are tamed and subdued by misfortune;
But great minds rise above them.

Washington Irving

Your mental attitude gives power to everything you do.
If your attitude is positive, your actions and thoughts
Further your ends? If your attitude is negative,
You are constantly undermining your own efforts.

Napoleon Hill
