The Honorable Brereton C. Jones, former Governor of Kentucky (1991-1995):

"It is important to surround yourself with good people; bad people corrupt good character. As you work to maintain a positive attitude, work just as hard to maintain your enthusiasm and surround yourself with good people.

It won’t be easy, just as life won’t always be easy. You will experience hard times; days when you feel you just can’t take any more. You’ll feel your positive attitude slipping away. There may even come a time when you want to give up.

That time is when your faith and your determination will have to keep you going. Show your toughness every day by being determined to succeed. This determination will pull you out of bad times and away from failure and will lead you to success. The difference between the impossible and the possible often lies in a person’s determination."
