PLAINFIELD PUBLIC LIBRARY ll 3 9510 4006 5406 0 A.Louis Mone TO THE GRADUATES, Early this year, I spoke to you about Jessie Owens who won four Gold Medals in the 1936 Olympics. Jessie Owens was a success! It didn't happen by chance. He knew what he wanted, and he was determined to get it. He believed he could and he went after it. Four gold medals! Jessie Owens said, once, in a talk to young people, that there were four rungs on the ladder of success. The first rung was setting a goal. Picture in your mind what you want to be or do. See yourself doing it. The second rung is determination. Don't forget your picture. Keep it in your mind every day. The third rung is attitude. Believe in yourself. Believe you can be the picture you have of yourself. The fourth rung is self discipline. Do what it takes without being told. Study. Practice. Work. Most importantly, don't give up.
