  • And the question is, whether you have a proper, a solid, and a sound blueprint.

  • Number one in your life's blueprint should be a deep belief in your own dignity, your

  • own worth and your own somebodiness.

  • Always feel that you have worth,

  • And always feel that your life has ultimate significance.

  • Secondly, in your life's blueprint, you must have as a basic principle the determination

  • to achieve excellence in your various fields of endeavor.

  • You're going to be deciding as the days and the years unfold what you will do in life,

  • what your life's work will be.

  • Once you discover what it will be, set out to do it and to do it well.

  • Well life for none of us has been a crystal stair

  • It isn’t by size that you win or you fail,

  • Be the best of whatever you are.

This is the most important and crucial period of your lives, for what you do now and what
