Whenever you complete a task of any size or importance, you feel a surge of energy, enthusiasm, and self-esteem. The more important the completed task, the happier, more confident, and more powerful you feel about yourself and your world.

You are where you are and what you are because of yourself, nothing else. Nature is neutral. Nature doesn't care. If you do what other successful people do, you will enjoy the same results and rewards that they do. And if you don't, you won't.

Unsuccessful people get up whenever they feel like it and the first thing they do is watch television, read the paper, or check email. The rest of the day is pretty much 50% below maximum performance.

Commit yourself to lifelong learning. The most valuable asset you'll ever have is your mind and what you put into it.

By acting in a positive, pleasant and optimistic way, you become a positive, optimistic and enjoyable person.

I've found that luck is quite predictable. If you want more luck, take more chances. Be more active. Show up more often.

Manage by objectives. Tell people exactly what you want them to do and then get out of their way.
