To me, there are three things we all should do every day. We should do this every day of our lives. No. 1 is laugh. You should laugh every day. No. 2 is think. You should spend some time in thought. No. 3 is you should have your emotions moved to tears, could be happiness or joy. But think about it. If you laugh, you think and you cry, that's a full day. That's a heckuva day. You do that seven days a week, you're going to have something special.
[W]hat's important in life to me are these three things. Where you started, where you are and where you're going to be.
I think you have to have an enthusiasm for life. You have to have a dream, a goal. You have to be willing to work for it.
