“Don’t let negative people determine your self-worth.”

Don’t wait for mentors to seek you out. Don’t ever wait for your phone calls to be returned, your letters to be answered, your faxes to be responded to. Keep going out and asking question.

Most people spend most of their time on low-priority busywork because it requires no additional knowledge, skills, or imagination-or courage. In a word, it’s easier.

Life is inherently risky. There is only one big risk you should avoid at all costs, and that is the risk of doing nothing.

Most people spend their entire lives on a fantasy island called ‘Someday I’ll.’

I’m always gonna do my own thing. I wanna be something – whether I’m 19 years old working at a pet store, or I’m 19 years old with a No. 1 record – I wanna be the biggest I can be to my crowd, no matter what my crowd is.

No man is a good citizen, a good neighbor, a good friend, or a good man just because he obeys the law. The intrinsic worth is determined mainly by the intrinsic make-up.

I have failed at times, but I have never stopped trying.

Success waits patiently for anyone who has the determination and strength to seize it.

A failure establishes only this, that our determination to succeed was not strong enough.

The amount of stress in your life is determined by how much energy you expend resisting your life.

Being disciplined and determined are my fitness mantra.

Fighting is not physical, fighting is spiritual. It’s the determination and the will in the guy.
