9. Now for a few words of wisdom: Every day, we make many choices. Some choices are very small, like deciding whether to take the chocolate or the vanilla ice cream; and some are very big, like deciding whether to do the right thing or not. Now listen to great American statesman William Jennings Bryan. He says: Destiny is not a matter of chance, it is a matter of choice.

10. Our destiny is basically our destination in life - where we are headed. Mr. Bryan is saying that our choices determine our final destination... they determine the outcome of our lives. If you want to create a successful and happy future, pause for a moment today and ask yourself this: Are my choices taking me in the right direction?

11. With something to think about, Make it a great day, or not, the choice is yours! And remember patriots, keep your heads up and your minds open! Thank you and have a great day!
