Life is like a combination lock; your job is to find the right numbers, in the right order, so you can have everything you want.

The quality of love and the duration of a relationship are in direct proportion to the depth of the commitment by both people to making the relationship successful. Commit yourself wholeheartedly and unconditionally to the most important people in your life.

Plan your work and work your plan. Decide in advance exactly how you are going to get from where you are to where you want to go.

Being true to yourself means living in truth with each person in your life. It means refusing to say or do something that you don't believe is right. Living in truth with other people means that you refuse to stay in any situation where you are unhappy with the behavior of another person. You refuse to tolerate it. You refuse to compromise.

The average person works at fifty percent or less of their potential. Your job is to unleash that extra fifty percent.

Five Great Habits for Better Relationships: acceptance (smile each time), appreciation (say thank you to everyone), admiration (compliment people on their appearance or clothing, etc.), approval (praise immediately, specifically and repeatedly), and attention (be a good listener).

If you do not have goals of your own you are doomed forever to work to achieve the goals of someone else.
