You can’t be beaten at anything, until you quit in your own mind.
There is no failure except in your not trying.
There is no defeat except from within.
You have no really insurmountable barrier except
your own inherent weakness of purpose.
The odds are with you if you keep on trying.
Consider yourself on a very long journey.
Sustain your personal vision of success until you achieve it.
In the end, you can fail only if you don’t try.
Winning isn’t everything, but wanting to is.
Success is a road that’s paved with perseverance.
The Daily Guru
Any sort of development — whether economic, political, biological, organizational or personal — requires a framework if one wishes to know whether change has actually occurred. In the case of personal development, an individual often functions as the primary judge of improvement, but validation of objective improvement requires assessment using standard criteria. Personal development frameworks may include goals or benchmarks that define the end-points, strategies or plans for reaching goals, measurement and assessment of progress, levels or stages that define milestones along a development path, and a feedback system to provide information on changes.
