“If you’re really driven and you want something deep, hard enough in life, you’re going to get it.”

Life goes by very fast. And the worst thing in life that you can have is a job that you hate, that you have no energy in, that you’re not creative with and you’re not thinking of the future. To me, might as well be dead.

A lot of, a big problems that people have nowadays is that they can’t stand moments of no stimulation in their life so they’re constantly lurking, looking for entertainment, video games.

Only create associations with positive affinities. Make this a rule of life and you will benefit more than from all the therapy in the world.

Mastery is not a function of genius or talent. It is a function of time and intense focus applied to a particular field of knowledge.

All the most successful people nowadays who are truly successful and innovative in their field are not people motivated by money.

You cannot make anything worthwhile in this world unless you have first developed and transformed yourself.

We must create our own world or we will die from inaction.

The world wants to assign you a role in life. And once you accept that role you are doomed.

Grand strategy is the art of looking beyond the present battle and calculating ahead. Focus on your ultimate goal and plot to reach it.

You’re not going to be persistent and tenacious enough if you don’t love what you’re doing. If it’s not something that excites you, that appeals to you deep down inside.

Everybody in life is struggling for power, and some people use morality and righteousness as a weapon, while others use different means, even passive aggression. From a distance, we are all fighting, and I am looking at this from a distance.

Understand: A person of power instills a kind of fear by deliberately unsettling those around him to keep the initative on his side.

Nothing is stable in the realm of power, and even closest of friends can be transformed into the worst of enemies.

Fear creates its own self-fulfilling dynamic- as people give into it, they lose energy and momentum. Their lack of confidence translates into inaction that lowers confidence levels even further, on and on.

You must always be prepared to place a bet on yourself, on your future, by heading in a direction that others seem to fear.

Actually, your past successes are your biggest obstacle: every battle, every war, is different, and you cannot assume that what worked before will work today.

To drive free, to love free, to court destruction with taunts, to feed the remainder of life with one hour of fullness and freedom – one brief hour of madness and joy.

Wall Street is the only place that people drive to in a Rolls Royce to take advice from people who ride the subway.

Let me tell you something my friend. Hope is a dangerous thing. Hope can drive a man insane.

Water is the driving force in nature.

Electric power is everywhere present in unlimited quantities and can drive the world’s machinery without the need of coal, oil, gas, or any other of the common fuels.

Self-driving cars are the natural extension of active safety and obviously something we should do.

Enthusiasm is the steam that drives the engine.

Don’t let loneliness drive you back into the arms of someone who doesn’t give a damn about you.
