When chill November's surly blast make fields and forest bar

Summary

This quote is describing the harshness of November's weather, particularly the cold wind it brings. It signifies that the month of November is when the autumn season is coming to an end. The use of "surly blast" portrays the powerful and gloomy nature of the wind as it strips the fields and forests of their foliage, leaving them bare and exposed. It captures the grim and desolate atmosphere that November often brings as winter approaches.

I will act now. I will act now. I will act now. Henceforth, I will repeat these words each hour, each day, everyday, until the words become as much a habit as my breathing, and the action which follows becomes as instinctive as the blinking of my eyelids. With these words I can condition my mind to perform every action necessary for my success. I will act now. I will repeat these words again and again and again. I will walk where failures fear to walk. I will work when failures seek rest. I will act now for now is all I have. Tomorrow is the day reserved for the labor of the lazy. I am not lazy. Tomorrow is the day when the failure will succeed. I am not a failure. I will act now. Success will not wait. If I delay, success will become wed to another and lost to me forever. This is the time. This is the place. I am the person.
