One of the marks of successful people is they are action oriented. One of the marks of average people is they are talk oriented.

If you expect to be successful, you will eventually be successful. If you expect to be happy and popular, you will be happy and popular. If you expect to be healthy and prosperous, that is what will happen... Always think and talk positively about the future. Start every morning by saying: 'I believe something wonderful is going to happen to me today.' Then, throughout the day, expect the best.

Develop a clear vision for your organization. Where do you want to be in five years?

I began writing books after speaking for several years and I realize that when you have a written book people think that you're smarter than you really are if I can joke. But it's interesting. People will buy your book and hire you without reading the book just because you have a book and you have a book on a subject that they think is of interest to themselves or e to their company.

Perhaps the most important word in success and happiness is the word,"ask."

Growth and fulfillment come from abandoning old practices and embracing new ones.

Nobody values your time but YOU.
