“No one is born with self confidence. Self confidence is learned and earned with experience.”

God’s Law of Cause and Effect: Your rewards in life will always be equal to the amount and quality of service rendered, in the long run.

Expect the best, plan for the worst, and prepare to be surprised.

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.

The winner’s edge is not in a gifted birth, a high IQ, or in talent. The winner’s edge is all in the attitude, not aptitude. Attitude is the criterion for success.

You can only do good if you feel good.

The most splendid achievement of all is the constant striving to surpass yourself and to be worthy of your own approval.

Chase your passion, not your pension.

Time And health are two precious assets that we don’t recognize and appreciate until they have been depleted.

Real motivation is that drive from within: You know where you are going because you have a compelling image inside, not a travel poster on the wall.

Unless what you say benefits the other person, don’t say it.

Don’t dwell on what went wrong. Instead, focus on what to do next. Spend your energies on moving forward toward finding the answer.

Real success comes in small portions day by day.

The truth is, you don’t break a bad habit; you replace it with a good one.

Change the changeable, accept the unchangeable, and remove yourself from the unacceptable.
