Every great idea and dream must be established within you and you alone. There will come times when only you will believe it is going to happen. Can you stand alone? Can you believe when it looks as if no one else does?
John Gardner declared, “The cynic says, ‘One man can’t do anything. ‘I say, ‘only one man can do anything.’’’ Nobody can do it for you. No one will do it for you.
Henry Wadsworth Longfellow puts it this way: “Not in the clamor of the crowded streets, not in the shouts or plaudits of the throng, but in ourselves are triumph and defeat.” You can’t delegate your thinking, dreaming or believing to others.
Thomas Edison, who claimed he could think better because of his partial deafness, said, “The best thinking has been done in solitude. The worst has been done in turmoil.”
