I believe that anyone can be successful in life, regardless of natural talent or the environment within which we live. This is not based on measuring success by human competitiveness for wealth, possessions, influence, and fame, but adhering to God's standards of truth, justice, humility, service, compassion, forgiveness, and love.

In the life of the human spirit, words are action, much more so than many of us realize who live in countries where freedom of expression is taken for granted.
