Persistence is the iron quality of success; if you persist long enough you must eventually succeed

The more reasons you have for achieving your goal, the more determined you will become.

When you see yourself as calm, positive, truthful and possessed of high character, you behave with greater strength. Other people respect you more. You feel in control of yourself and the situation.

Aspire greatly; anything less than a commitment to excellence becomes an acceptance of mediocrity.

There is an interesting point about the price of success: It must always be paid in full-and in advance. Everyone wants to be successful. Everyone wants to be healthy, happy, thin, and rich. But most people are not willing to pay the price.

So many people spend so much time on things that aren't important. It's the difference between success and failure.

Flood your life with ideas from many sources. Creativity needs to be exercised like a muscle. If you don't use it, you'll lose it!
