I just ran across these and thought it would be good to share them. The original article is here.
By Elder Robert D. Hales
Of the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles
Axiom 1
It’s not the obstacle that counts, but how you overcome it.
Axiom 2
Pursue your goals with all your heart, might, mind, and strength. You are doomed to failure if you pursue them in a vacillating manner.
Axiom 3
From a tiny spark can come a large fire.
Axiom 4
Our greatest strengths can become our greatest weaknesses.
Axiom 5
Failure is one of the greatest teachers if we have the faith to learn from it.
Axiom 6
It is not how you start the race or where you are during the race. It is how you cross the finish line that matters.
Axiom 7
"If you wish to get rich, save what you get. A fool can earn money; but
it takes a wise man to save and dispose of it to his own advantage." (Brigham Young)
Axiom 8
You cannot learn the Lord’s will without exercising your agency and
becoming accountable for your decisions.
Axiom 9
The more things change, the more they stay the same.
Axiom 10
The temple of God is the greatest university.

Sounds about right. Right now I seem to be having a hard time with #2. I need to push myself harder. I like to think it's because it's summer. We'll see how I do once school starts. ;)
beautiful! I love it! Especially the one about pursuing your goals with confidence and conviction and not in a vacillating manner. "Turning on" the light of faith has helped me so many times in my life. Thanks for the post.
