As in "mind over matter"
- As in oil is gunk that makes farmland worthless - until the mind figures out a way to convert it into gasoline...
- As in the world happens to you - but you get to decide how you react and respond.
- As in "if you say you can't, you're right."
- As in "the pessimist sees the problem in every opportunity - and the optimist sees the opportunity in every problem."
