Quote

When I made that statement that the person discovers the secret of their success by their daily agenda, all of a sudden it hit me that if I could teach people to make today count if I could really teach them what they need to do today to have a good day, that tomorrow would really take care of itself.

If you show the way, people will want to follow you. The higher you go, the greater the number of people who will be willing to travel with you.
