• Dream Big
  
  " If there were ever a time to dare,
  to make a difference,
  to embark on something worth doing,
  it is now.
  Not for any grand cause, necessarily-
  but for something that tugs at your heart,
  something that's your aspiration,
  something that's your dream.
  
  You owe it to yourself
  to make your days here count.
  Have fun.
  Dig Deep.
  Stretch.
  
  Dream big.
  
  Know, though, that things worth doing
  seldom come easy.
  There will be good days.
  There will be times when you want to turn around,
  pack it up,
  and call it quits.
  those times tell you
  that you are pushing yourself,
  that you are not afraid to learn by trying.
  
  Persist.
  
  Because with an idea,
  determination,
  and the right tools,
  you can do great things.
  Let your instincts,
  your intellect,
  and your heart
  guide you.
  
  Trust.
  
  Believe in the incredible power of the human mind.
  Of doing something that makes a difference.
  Of working hard.
  Of laughing and hoping.
  Of lazy afternoons.
  Of lasting friends.
  Of all the things that will cross your path this year.
  
  The start of something new
  brings the hope of something great.
  Anything is possible.
  There is only one you.
  And you will pass this way only once.
  Do it right."

• The Difference
  
  " I got up early one morning
  And rushed right into the day;
  I had so much to accomplish
  That I didn't have time to pray.
  Problems just tumbled about me,
  And heavier came each task;
  "Why doesn't God help me?"
  I wondered.
  He answered, "You didn't ask."
  
  I wanted to see joy and beauty,
  But the day toiled on gray and bleak;
  I wondered why God didn't show me.
  He said, "But you didn't seek."
  
  I tried to come into God's presence;
  I used all my keys in the lock.
  God gently and lovingly chided,
  "My child, you didn't knock."
  
  I woke up early this morning,
  And paused before entering the day;
  I had so much to accomplish
  That I had to take time to pray."
