When you believe that other people think highly of you, your level of self-acceptance and self-esteem goes straight up.

Define your goals in terms of the activities necessary to achieve them, and concentrate on those activities.

Structure your presentation so that you appeal to the different interests of the different decision-makers involved.

You can't help the poor by becoming one of them.

Dress for success. Image is very important. People judge you by the way you look on the outside.

...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.

Until you commit your goals to paper, you have intentions that are seeds without soil.
