“Because of our potential, we must eliminate the voices of fear and doubt, think big, believe in ourselves, and persist in action until our dreams are achieved. We cannot allow the dominant culture and ease of mediocrity to replace the work necessary for success in anything. We alone determine and create our own potential; and yes, we literally can become and accomplish anything if only we can learn how to think big, believe more, and act now” – Mathew V Toone.
