Learn how to be happy with what you have while you pursue all that you want.

Don’t spend most of your time on the voices that don’t count. Tune out the shallow voices so that you will have more time to tune in the valuable ones.

Profits are better than wages. Wages make you a living; profits make you a fortune.

Your family and your love must be cultivated like a garden. Time, effort, and imagination must be summoned constantly to keep any relationship flourishing and growing.

Don’t just read the easy stuff. You may be entertained by it, but you will never grow from it.
