To improve your life, be prepared to make new choices and decisions.

Circumstances do not make the man or woman, they merely reveal them.

If you like a person you say 'let's go into business together.' Man is a social animal after all, but such partnerships are fraught with danger.

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.

Working at something you don't care about is the very best way to waste your life.

Start with a picture of your goal as already achieved in the future, and work back to the present. Imagine the steps that you would have taken to get from where you are now to where you want to be.

You can get control of your tasks and activities only to the degree that you stop doing some things and start spending more time on the few activities that can really make a difference in your life.
