Do you watch Extreme Makeover Home Edition? I usually have it on Sunday evenings while I’m writing and last night was no exception. For those of you who don’t watch, all the makeovers this season were for ‘heroes’; people who ignored their own situation to give back.

Last night was a makeover for Bernard McFarland, a 37 year old single dad who has become a mentor to all the kids in his neighborhood. He’s a firm believer that ‘knowledge is power’ and that learning and books are the answer to everything. (You can watch it online.)

But what I really like is the slogan he teaches the kids and, obviously, believes himself.

I like it enough to add it to my Rules To Live By (it’s number 24).

If you reach for the moon and miss grab a star.

Great thought, great motivation.
