~walk with the dreamers, the believers, the courageous, the cheerful, the planners, the doers, the successful people with their heads in the clouds and their feet on the ground.

~walk with those who have ideals, with zest to help and lift, to create and contribute.

~let their spirit ignite a fire within you to leave this world better than when you found it.

~associate with the creative people wherever you find them.

~make friends with them, go where they are, talk with them, listen to them, be open and receptive to them, let them inspire you.

~catch their attitudes, their way of thinking and living.
