Small improvements in the way you use your time can translate into major differences in your life.

The world is full of people who are waiting for someone to come along and motivate them to be the kind of people they wish they could be. The problem is that no one is coming to the rescue.

Start with a picture of your goal as already achieved in the future, and work back to the present. Imagine the steps that you would have taken to get from where you are now to where you want to be.

The future belongs to the competent. It belongs to those who are very, very good at what they do. It does not belong to the well meaning.

There's only one direction you can coast-downhill.

The only real limitation on your abilities is the level of your desires. If you want it badly enough, there are no limits on what you can achieve.

Your ability to negotiate, communicate, influence, and persuade others to do things is absolutely indispensable to everything you accomplish in life.
