Courage of your convictions
Listen to your critics and learn what you can from them. But
don't let them dissuade you from what you know is best.<P>
A bright and shining vision has value only when you have the
courage to follow it. When you know that it is the thing to
do, then step up and do it.<P>
Pay attention to what others have to say, without becoming a
slave to their opinions of you. Consider differing and
diverse perspectives, while keeping the substance of your
most deeply held values intact.<P>
Much of the effort of achievement is in keeping yourself
focused. Choose to intentionally make that effort, to
maintain that focus, and all the rest will more readily fall
into place.<P>
Though the world may seem to be against you at times, keep
in mind that you are working to make that world a better
place. Start to show some progress, and others will soon be
buying into your vision.<P>
Remember who you are, where you've come from, and the real
value of what you have to offer. Then step forward, with
renewed courage and commitment, and make it real.<P>
