Develop a mentor at each stage of your career - someone who will give you guidance and advice.

Everything in life is a checklist, whether it's building a birdhouse or building a kitchen. If you don't have a checklist, you're much more likely to forget something.

Your own level of self-acceptance is determined largely by how well you feel you are accepted by the important people in your life.

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.

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.

Many parents make the mistake of giving love and approval to their children only when their children do something that they want them to do.

Success is goals, everything else is commentary.
