I feel very blessed to have been involved with some of the most complex surgical procedures in the history of the world.

No matter how good you are at planning, the pressure never goes away. So I don't fight it. I feed off it. I turn pressure into motivation to do my best.

A lot of people simply don't realize their potential because they're just so risk adverse. They just don't want to take the risk.

I know a lot of people in Washington would say, well, you know, indigent people can't manage their health savings account. They're too stupid. But they're not too stupid. Somebody has a diabetic foot ulcer, they learn very quickly not to go the emergency room where it costs five times more to take care of it. They go to the clinic.

People are simply not willing to look at their problems honestly and admit that they have problems.

Successful people don't have fewer problems. They have determined that nothing will stop them from going forward.

If we allow ourselves to dwell on negatives, on hurts, on mistreatments, we will be negative thinkers. So be open to positive thinking, THINK BIG!
