Persistence is the great measure of individual human character.

One of the most important rules for success is this: Every great success is the result of hundreds and thousands of small efforts and accomplishments that no one sees or appreciates.

...decide for yourself what makes you truly happy and then organize your life around it. Write down your goals and make plans to achieve them.

A major stimulant to creative thinking is focused questions. There is something about a well-worded question that often penetrates to the heart of the matter and triggers new ideas and insights.

Define your goals in terms of the activities necessary to achieve them, and concentrate on those activities.

Assume that whatever situation you are facing at the moment is exactly the right situation you need to ultimately be successful. This situation has been sent to help you become better, to help you expand and grow.

People with clear, written goals, accomplish far more in a shorter period of time than people without them could ever imagine.
