“No gift can ever replace the value of being there in person.”

Success is almost totally dependent upon drive and persistence. The extra energy required to make another effort or try another approach is the secret of winning.

When you make a mistake or get ridiculed or rejected, look at mistakes as learning experiences, and ridicule as ignorance. Look at rejection as part of one performance, not as a turn down of the performer.

Success is not a pie with a limited number of pieces. The success of others has very little bearing on your success. You and everyone you know can become successful without anyone suffering setbacks, harm, or downturns.

Doubters don’t win, winners don’t doubt.

Find a positive lesson and positive reason for all of your personal relationships. Accentuate the blessings and knowledge gained from each.

Belief is the ignition switch that gets you off the launching pad.

One person’s ceiling is another person’s floor.

The greatest achievements are those that benefit others.

The greatest limitations you will ever face will be those you place on yourself.

You must be worthy of the best, but not more worthy than the rest.

When you kill time, you kill your opportunities for success.

The essence of life is finding something you really love and then making the daily experience worthwhile.

Contentment is for cows; a challenging purpose is for people.

Close your eyes and visualize the person you really want to be, who fits your own concepts of self-respect. If you can see the person clearly in the mirror of you mind, you surely will become that person.

The world is a mirror and reflects back your expectations. What you get is what you see.

Your best friend should bring out the best in you.
