Success breeds success.

No-one gets an iron-clad guarantee of success. Certainly, factors like opportunity, luck and timing are important. But the backbone of success is usually found in old-fashioned, basic concepts like hard work, determination, good planning and perseverance.

Follow your heart and make it your decision.

Take your victories, whatever they may be, cherish them, use them, but don't settle for them.

English muffins with avocado is one of my favorite breakfasts.
