“You never cede control of your own ability to be successful to something called racism.”
“..the more you believe in your own ability to success the more likely it is that you will.”
“The more control you have over your life, the more responsible you feel for your own success - or failure.”
“Believe in yourself! Have faith in your abilities! Without a humble but reasonable confidence in your own powers you cannot be successful or happy.”
“You can't possibly judge your ability to control something until you've experienced the extremes of its capabilities. Do you understand?”
“Have more humility. Remember you don't know the limits of your own abilities. Successful or not, if you keep pushing beyond yourself, you will enrich your own life – and maybe even please a few strangers.”
