Barack Obama knows that to create an economy built to last we need to focus on middle-class families. Families who stay up on Sunday nights pacing the floor like my dad did while their children tucked in bed dream big dreams. Families who aren't sure what Monday morning will bring but who believe our nation's best days are still ahead.

As for courage and will - we cannot measure how much of each lies within us we can only trust there will be sufficient to carry through trials which may lie ahead.

Then there is a still higher type of courage - the courage to brave pain to live with it to never let others know of it and to still find joy in life to wake up in the morning with an enthusiasm for the day ahead.

True courage is being afraid and going ahead and doing your job anyhow that's what courage is.

Courage is not the absence of despair it is rather the capacity to move ahead in spite of despair.

When I was in Japan on tour in 2010 I felt like I was 30 years into the future. I love technology and they are so advanced with their phones computers everything. I think they had the iPhone way before we did in the U.S. I love gadgets games social media and I try to stay ahead on all that stuff but they get it all first.

I have accepted fear as a part of life - specifically the fear of change... I have gone ahead despite the pounding in the heart that says: turn back.

You have to visualize a second or two ahead of your car what line you are taking what you are going to do before you get there because it comes too fast.
