“Think big! Most people limit themselves. I keep a quote on my desk that reads, “What would you attempt if you knew you could not fail?” Henry Ford said it another way: “If you think you can do a thing or think you can’t do a thing, you’re right.” Don’t be frozen in fear of doing something incorrectly, instead, take charge of what you can control – your attitude and your actions – and you’ll surprise yourself with just how much you can achieve.”
