“Think in terms of what’s good for the other person and success will seek you out.”

I believe that most successful people are ordinary people with extraordinary determination.

People often resist change when they don’t participate in the decision-making process. Some of the best leaders ‘plant the seed’ that permits others to propose the idea and take credit for it!

Help other people get what they want – and you’ll get what you want.

Be a dreamer. Have a sense of greatness. It has been said that if you can dream it, you can do it. And I believe that. Before your dream can become a reality, you have to see it in your own mind; see its fulfillment, whatever it may be.

You are the only boss you have. And I want you to be the most demanding boss that you can be. If you really want to make a success of this business, then you must put yourself on a schedule.

Hope is wishing for something to come true. Faith is belief that it will come true. Believe that for every problem God gives you, He will also provide you with a solution.

For every failure, there’s an alternative course of action. You just have to find it. When you come to a roadblock, take a detour.

You can’t stand still. You either go forward or backward.

Dare to risk public criticism.

Even the smallest achievements pave a way to great success.

Some people drift through their entire life. They do it one day at a time, one week at a time, one month at a time. It happens so gradually they are unaware of how their lives are slipping away until it’s too late.

In absence of clearly defined goals, we become strangely loyal to performing daily acts of trivia.

I believe that you should praise people whenever you can; it causes them to respond as a thirsty plant responds to water.

An average person with average talents and average ambition can outstrip the most brilliant genius in our society; if that person has clear focused goals.

Those who are blessed with the most talent don’t necessarily outperform everyone else. It’s the people with follow-through who excel.

People fall forward to success.

If you learn to laugh at your own stupidity, all your rubbish will turn into manure very fast. And manure is good for growth.

When you put good will out there, it’s amazing what can be accomplished.

May your coming year be filled with magic and dreams and good madness. I hope you read some fine books and kiss someone who thinks you’re wonderful.

We require routine and tradition. That’s order. Order can become excessive, and that’s not good, but chaos can swamp us, so we drown – and that is also not good. We need to stay on the straight and narrow path.

There’s some real utility in gratitude. It’s also good protection against the dangers of victimhood and resentment.

No one would remember the Good Samaritan if he’d only had good intentions; he had money as well.

A seed that does not sprout is as good as a pebble. For the divine seed that you are to flourish, you have to open up.

Good thoughts and actions can never produce bad results; bad thoughts and actions can never produce good results.
