“The gift of achievement is not the things you get, but the person you become.”

Happiness is the DNA of pleasure.

Better to be an optimist who gets disappointed than a pessimist who has no hope.

We become happier not by accumulating more things but by creating richer experiences.

Become one of the rare people who don’t know how to quit.

Person who chases two rabbits catches neither.

Your limits are liars, you fears are thieves.

The quality of success you will experience in your life ultimately depends upon the tiny choices you make every minute of every hour of every day.

Things are not as bad as it seems. The situations that cause us sorrow are the same ones that introduce us to the strength, power and wisdom that we truly are.

The business of business is relationships; the business of life is human connection.

The way you begin each day defines how you’ll live each day.

The true value of a big dream is who you must grow into to live that dream.

Your life is a mirror. Life gives us not what we want. Life gives us who we are.

Critics only speak up when they see someone shining. Average work doesn’t threaten them.

Until our mission becomes our obsession, we’ll be chained to the realm of average.

See your life as a giant adventure. Keep pushing the envelope, and remember that every dream starts off small.

Investing in yourself is the best investment you will ever make. It will not only improve your life, it will improve the lives of all those around you.

Doubters do not achieve; skeptics do not contribute; cynics do not create.

While transparency reduces corruption, good governance goes beyond transparency in achieving openness. Openness means involving the stakeholders in decision-making process. Transparency is the right to information while openness is the right to participation.

Just when you think you’ve achieved something, you realize you’ve achieved nothing. And still you have to go forward just the same – toward a dream so distant that your road has neither beginning nor end.

Why, I’d like nothing better than to achieve some bold adventure, worthy of our trip.

I attempt an arduous task; but there is no worth in that which is not a difficult achievement.

The victory of success is half won when one gains the habit of setting goals and achieving them. Even the most tedious chore will become endurable as you parade through each day convinced that every task, no matter how menial or boring, brings you closer to achieving your dreams.

It isn’t normal to know what we want. It is a rare and difficult psychological achievement.

I am doomed to an eternity of compulsive work. No set goal achieved satisfies. Success only breeds a new goal. The golden apple devoured has seeds. It is endless.
