The world seems to belong to those who reach out and grab it with both hands. It belongs to those who do something rather than just wish and hope and plan and pray, and intend to do something someday, when everything is just right.

One of the best uses of your time is to increase your competence in your key result areas.

Destructive criticism is the biggest single enemy of human potential. It is worse than cancer or heart disease. While those diseases can ultimately lead to the deterioration and death of an individual, destructive criticism kills the soul of the person but leaves the body walking around.

Goals allow you to control the direction of change in your favor.

Some people make that decision at 15 and some people make it at 50, and most people never make it all.

You can achieve almost any goal you set for yourself as long as you have the discipline to pay the price to do what you need to do and to never give up. You can make excuses or you can make progress. You choose.

...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.
