Self-acceptance begins in infancy, with the influence of your parents and siblings and other important people.

Accept complete responsibility both for understanding and for being understood.

Develop an 'attitude of gratitude.' Say thank you to everyone you meet for everything they do for you

One quality of leaders and high achievers in every area seems to be a commitment to ongoing personal and professional development.

Flood your mind continually with pictures of the health, happiness, and prosperity that you desire.

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.

Your most important tasks and priorities are those that can have the most serious consequences, positive or negative, on your life or work. Focus on these above all.
