From the Book - First edition.
To be strong enough to know when you are weak, brave enough to face yourself when you are afraid
Not to seek the path of comfort, but to face the stress and spur of difficulty and challenge
Not to substitute words for action
To be proud and unbending in honest failure, but humble and gentle in success
To seek out and experience a vigor of the emotions, a freshness of the deep springs of lift, an appetite for adventure over love of ease
To seek a temper of the will , a quality of the imagination, and to exercise a tempermental predominance of courage over timidity
To be modest so that you will appreciate the open mind of true wisdom, the meekness of true strength
To be serious, yet never to take yourself too seriously ; to cry but also to laugh
To discover the sense of wonder, the unfailing hope of what is next, and the joy and inspiration of life
Epiloge : "How are you doing?"
