You have to set big goals for yourself. And you have to put aside all the negativity in your life that tells you that if you came from a certain education or a certain family background that you can't achieve big goals. That's one of the things that America has.

Always focus on accomplishments rather than activities.

Your greatest asset is your earning ability, to apply your knowledge, skills in order to get results which others will pay.

Resolve to be a master of change rather than a victim of change.

The very act of accepting responsibility short-circuits and cancels out any negative emotions you may be experiencing.

Build wisdom and confidence in others by forcing them to think and decide for themselves.

Your life is the sum total of all your choices up to this present minute.
