“Do not fear failure but rather fear not trying.”

You are not the victim of the world, but rather the master of your own destiny. It is your choices and decisions that determine your destiny.

More smiling, less worrying. More compassion, less judgment. More blessed, less stressed. More love, less hate.

Be the positive impact on the lives of others.

It’s your life; you don’t need someone’s permission to live the life you want. Be brave to live from your heart.

When the going gets tough, put one foot in front of the other and just keep going. Don’t give up.

If you want to be happy, do not dwell in the past, do not worry about the future, focus on living fully in the present.

Never lose hope. Storms make people stronger and never last forever.

Sometimes you have to lose all you have to find out who you truly are.

Take responsibility of your own happiness, never put it in other people’s hands.

Don’t waste your time in anger, regrets, worries, and grudges. Life is too short to be unhappy.

Make improvements, not excuses. Seek respect, not attention.

Always remember people who have helped you along the way, and don’t forget to lift someone up.

When one has a grateful heart, life is so beautiful.

Do not set aside your happiness. Do not wait to be happy in the future. The best time to be happy is always now.

Great leaders create more leaders, not followers.

Failure is a bend in the road, not the end of the road. Learn from failure and keep moving forward.

I always turn to the sports pages first, which records people’s accomplishments. The front page has nothing but man’s failures.

Self-education is, I firmly believe, the only kind of education there is. The only function of a school is to make self-education easier; failing that, it does nothing.

MY REGRETS ARE ABOUT THE PEOPLE I COULDN’T SAVE—Marines, soldiers, my buddies. I still feel their loss. I still ache for my failure to protect them.

It’s scary to imagine yourself failing. But I do know that in Bollywood, every Friday changes your destiny, and unfortunately, every Friday also changes the way people look at you.

People who blame others for their failures never overcome them. They simply move from problem to problem. To reach your potential, you must continually improve yourself, and you can’t do that if you don’t take responsibility for your actions and learn from your mistakes.

Wisdom is directly proportional to your power to overcome the failures and setbacks in life.

I believe the single most significant decision I can make on a day-to-day basis is my choice of attitude. It is more important than my past, my education, my bankroll, my successes or failures, fame or pain, what other people think of me or say about me, my circumstances, or my position.

My first plan of escape having failed, I now determined upon another.
