“The gift of achievement is not the things you get, but the person you become.”

Things are not as bad as it seems. The situations that cause us sorrow are the same ones that introduce us to the strength, power and wisdom that we truly are.

The business of business is relationships; the business of life is human connection.

The way you begin each day defines how you’ll live each day.

The true value of a big dream is who you must grow into to live that dream.

Your life is a mirror. Life gives us not what we want. Life gives us who we are.

Critics only speak up when they see someone shining. Average work doesn’t threaten them.

Until our mission becomes our obsession, we’ll be chained to the realm of average.

See your life as a giant adventure. Keep pushing the envelope, and remember that every dream starts off small.

Investing in yourself is the best investment you will ever make. It will not only improve your life, it will improve the lives of all those around you.

There are no mistakes in life, only lessons. There is no such thing as a negative experience, only opportunities to grow, learn and advance along the road of self-mastery. From struggle comes strength. Even pain can be a wonderful teacher.

The real reward for doing your best work is not the money you make but the leader you become.

It’s amazing how far you will get by just staying with something long enough. Most people give up too early.

Only those who seek shall find.

Less gossiping, more learning. Less complaining, more excelling. Less walls, more bridges. Less fear, more courage.

We are all here for some special reason. Stop being a prisoner of your past. Become the architect of your future.

The activity you’re most avoiding contains your biggest opportunity.

To this day, one of my proudest achievements is captaining my country.

Success is achieved by people who deeply understand reality and know how to use it to get what they want. The converse is also true: idealists who are not well-grounded in reality create problems, not progress.

But when you really believe-in yourself, in your dream-you just have to do everything you possibly can to take control and make your vision a reality. No great achievement happens by luck.

I believed less is what I needed, what I tried to achieve; I thought less is more, better, the minimalistic beauty of life.

The greatest achievement is to outperform yourself.

Europe has always represented a major strategic opportunity to achieve our goal of creating and building an enduring global brand.

You can’t always get what you want.

Hustling is putting every minute and all your effort into achieving the goal at hand.
