I believe any person who applies these principles will be a genuine success in life. God intended them to be easy to understand, so that everybody could get in on the benefit.

Everything I touch falls apart. My problems are insurmountable. I can never do anything right. Of course not. As a father, I want my children to be successful, to be the best they can be.
