“For all their bitching about what’s holding them back, most people have a lot of trouble coming up with the defined dreams they’re being held from.”

Simplicity requires ruthlessness.

What we fear doing most is usually what we most need to do.

I have plenty of money to do what I want to do, and I have the relationships.

For uncommon solutions, you have to look in uncommon places.

There is always more information than attention.

Creating demand is hard. Filling demand is easier. Don’t create a product, then seek someone to sell it to. Find a market – define your customers – then find or develop a product for them.

Short, sweet, and to the point. Clear writing, and therefore clear commands, comes from clear thinking. Think simple.

Being able to quit things that don’t work is integral to being a winner.

Emphasize strengths, don’t fix weaknesses.

Ninety-nine percent of people believe they can’t do great things, so they aim for mediocrity.

Focus on impact, not approval. If you believe you can change the world, which I hope you do, do what you believe is right and expect resistance and expect attackers. Keep calm and carry on!

Slowing down doesn’t mean accomplishing less; it means cutting out counterproductive distractions and the perception of being rushed.

The only rules and limits are those we set for ourselves.

Learn to ask, “If this is the only thing I accomplish today, will I be satisfied with my day?”

The best way to counter-attack a hater is to make it blatantly obvious that their attack has had no impact on you.

Believe it or not, it is not only possible to accomplish more by doing less, it is mandatory. Enter the world of elimination.

No dream is ever chased alone.

I choose to focus on my work so that I can turn my dreams into reality.

I was like every other boy in India, with a dream of playing for my country. Yet I could never have imagined a journey so long and so fulfilling. No dream is ever chased alone.

My dream was to play for Alabama – football, basketball.

My dreams as a kid were so far below the Grammys, like, maybe selling out a show, or, like, seeing your album on a shelf in an Urban Outfitters… and the Grammys are so far above that. It’s very ridiculous.

Don’t tell me to not daydream. That’s the only place where I live and don’t think.

If you don’t dream, you might as well be dead.

I think my grandmother saw my potential first. When I was young, I told her, ‘I think I should get a job.’ She said, ‘No, just keep boxing.’
