Victories of life are won not on the courts where the decisive struggle takes place, but in the obscure and forgotten hours of preparation. Success or failure lies in the hands of the individual long before the hour of final test comes.
To be the best and experience success – is no accident; we reap precisely what we have sown and nothing else; we do well precisely what we have prepared to do.
The world puts its force into us when we put ourselves in right relation with it: Experience makes us constantly wiser if we know how to rationalize it: Time deposits all manner of treasure in our imagination and memory, if we hold the doors open.
Nothing is lost upon a person who is bent upon growth, nothing wasted on one who is constantly preparing for her work and her life by keeping eyes, mind, and heart open to God, books and experience. All things that she has seen, heard, known and felt come to her aid at the critical moment to make her thought clear and keep her goal within reach.
