Peak performance begins with your taking complete responsibility for your life and everything that happens to you.

Persistence is the great measure of individual human character.

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.

When you are younger, you worry about what people think about you. When you are older, you realize that no one was ever thinking about you at all.

Attitude and personality are as important as experience and ability.

Your earning ability today is largely dependent upon your knowledge, skill and your ability to combine that knowledge and skill in such a way that you contribute value for which customers are going to pay.

Remind yourself that problems come not to obstruct, but to instruct.
