Always give more in service, than you receive in payment, and customers will beat a path to your door.

The real champions in life are so humble and gracious. They just continue doing what they do without all the posturing. If you’ve got the real thing, you don’t have to flaunt a loud imitation.

You must feel love within, before you can share it.

Recognize when your peak energy occurs during the day. Allocate the most difficult projects to that period. Work on easy projects at low-energy times

Success is almost totally dependent upon drive and persistence.

Commitment doesn’t guarantee success, but lack of commitment guarantees you’ll fall far short of your potential.

Accept yourself as you are right now; an imperfect, changing, growing and worthy person.
