Real courage stands for your beliefs. It's about saying NO when "friends" dare you to take drugs or commit a crime. Ask yourself, are these type of people really "friends?" Remember the Cowardly Lion thought he needed a wizard to give him courage, but when he stood up to the challenge, he realized he had it all along. Just remember, your courage may be tucked away inside, waiting for the right opportunity or challenge to present itself.

"Leaders are born, not made." Be enthusiastic. Be generous with your praise. Show loyalty, and win it in return. Know where you are going. Always strive in life to seek opportunities for leadership. You won't know you're a leader until you try to be one.

Being part of a team means admitting that you need the talents and cooperation of others to win. Teamwork is a valuable lesson in humility...an acknowledgement that no matter how brilliant you are, you can't do it alone. With teamwork there is a lot to be gained, because when the team wins, so do each one of the individuals on the team.

Compassion is a treat to being successful. With compassion you share a deep sensitivity to the suffering and aspirations of others.

Generosity does not always mean giving money. It means giving your time to worthwhile causes. Give your affection to your family. Give you attention to people who need a sympathetic ear. Give your energy to your schoolwork. The more you give in life, the more life gives back to you. Click here for more information on charitable / community service activities.

You can achieve what you want to achieve if you are willing to work hard and set goals for yourself.

Commitment forces you to surrender some of your everyday freedom. You set your goals and commit to achieving them.

Whenever you come up with an idea, keep focusing until your mental picture is shared and filled with detailes. Then develop it!

There's more to creativity than expressing yourself. Seize the chance to do something as it's never been done before!

Visualize what you want, then go after it with all your heart. Don't let life's pressures steer you away from your values, or you could be headed for a crash. You're always the one in the driver's seat!
