Excerpts from the book:

Acceptance Speech

"We can be given all
the riches of the world,
the beauty of the ages,
the wisdom of the gods,
but if we do not accept
this gift thoughtfully,
and take it with grateful
intention, then we will
go on living a life that
leads us nowhere and ends
without adding anything
worth mentioning to
the great story of life
that is being told."

Greatness

"Greatness is achieved, not only,
by doing great things, but also,
by making the small things we do
great."

A Time Such as This

"You were made
for a time such as this.

You were born
for greater things to exist.

Do not let shortsightedness
make your way crooked and bent.

Use your time wisely,
live with vision and intent.

Do not waste life's gift
and live in listless rest.

For you have what it takes
to reach the very best.

Do not let routine's weariness
make you lumber and crawl.

You have what it takes
to stand up when you fall.

Without you in this world
life would be greatly amiss.

You were made
for a time such as this."

Call To Action

"Anything we do, now,
might lead to
something great, later."
