You will be paid in direct proportion to the value you create in the marketplace.

Comfort kills! If your goal in life is to be comfortable, I guarantee two things. First, you will never be rich. Second, you will never be happy.

Rich people focus on what they want, while poor people focus on what they don’t want.
