Persistence. Nothing in the world can take the place of persistence. Talent won't; nothing is more common than unsuccessful men with talent. Genius won't; unrewarded genius is practically a cliché. Education won't; the world is full of educated fools. Persistence and determination alone are all powerful. Show that you don't have to be defeated by anything. That you can have peace of mind, improved health and a never ceasing flow of energy. If you attempt each and every day to achieve these things, the results will make themselves obvious to you. While it may sound like a magical notion, it is in you to create your own future. The greatest discovery of my generation is that human beings can alter their lives by altering their attitudes of mind. Or as Ralph Waldo Emerson declared, "A man is what he thinks about all day long."

It's its own separate company. Which puts it outside your purview. - Anything relating to McDonald's is within our purview. - Let me explain something to you, Dick. You boys have full say over what goes on inside the restaurants. But outside? Above? Below? Your authority stops at the door. And at the floor. All right?

- Hiya, Dick, how ya doing? - Well, if you really want to know I'm a tad miffed. - Why? What seems to be the problem? - Franchise Realty Corporation. - What about it? - For starters, would you mind telling me what it is? - Oh, nothing really. Just a little something I created to help provide leasing services, you know, lend support to our new franchisees. - You know full well you can't do something like that without first clearing it. - Now, why would I need to do that? - Because as your deal plainly states, any and all changes must be agreed to in writing. - Except it's not a change. - Excuse me? - It's not a change. It's a company.

- I thought it over. Approved. - Really? - Thank you! - No, thank you. It's a wiz-bang idea and you're the one who thought of it. - Well we're deeply honored to serve as your test market. - The hell with that. I'm going to roll this out nationally.
