Years ago, President Howard W. Hunter gave a talk at BYU entitled, “What is True Greatness.” He said: “The achievement of true greatness is a long‑term process. . . . It seems it always requires regular, consistent, small, and sometimes ordinary and mundane steps over a long period of time” (See Brigham Young University 1986-87 Devotional and Fireside Speeches, 115).

"A happy life isn't about getting what you want; it's about the attitude you develop toward whatever happens to you, an attitude that lets you grow."
