“You shape your own life, and the shape of your life is determined to a great extent by your attitude. This is an area that you can control, and in learning how to control and direct it, you will have great power over what is going to happen.”

Success is buried on the other side of frustration; unfortunately some people don’t do what it takes to get to the other side.

Train your mind to see in all people, what they do not see in themselves. Begin to treat every person you come in contact with as the most important person in the world. Look at them with new awareness.

Management means the development of people, not the direction of things.

You and I have the decision to decide what we are going to be with our life! Or we can let the paradigm control us and march along in lockstep type fashion.

You can HAVE, DO or BE, anything you want! It’s a choice and it’s YOUR CHOICE.

Start with the end in mind. If you want to be a millionaire, talk like one, act like one, work like one.

Discipline is giving yourself a command and following it up with action.

Just understand that the good that you want is already here. All you have to do is get in harmony with it. And you do that through your own thinking.

Larry Bird is overrated in a lot of areas. … Why does he get so much publicity? Because he’s white. You never hear about a black player being the greatest.

The sunlit face of the earth would appear to shine by the light diffused back into space from the land and water-covered areas.

To an observer situated on the moon or on one of the planets, the most noticeable feature on the surface of our globe would no doubt be the large areas covered by oceanic water.

We have taken the manatees out of the areas in the Caribbean and really elsewhere in the world, and this disruption to the system makes such systems vulnerable to changes as they come by, whether it’s in terms of disease or terms or global warming for that matter.

The sudden release of five million barrels of oil, enormous quantities of methane and two million gallons of toxic dispersants into an already greatly stressed Gulf of Mexico will permanently alter the nature of the area.
