Unsuccessful people get up whenever they feel like it and the first thing they do is watch television, read the paper, or check email. The rest of the day is pretty much 50% below maximum performance.

Our mind is the most valuable possession that we have. The quality of our lives is, and will be, a reflection of how well we develop, train, and utilize this precious gift.

When you make a to-do list, you should also make a to-not-do list. Warren Buffet was asked about the secret to success, and he said that it was saying no to almost everything. Some of those little tasks won't matter as long as you get the big tasks done.

Courage comes from acting courageously on a day-to-day basis.

Never complain, never explain. Resist the temptation to defend yourself or make excuses.

Commit yourself to lifelong learning. The most valuable asset you'll ever have is your mind and what you put into it.

We will always tend to fulfill our own expectation of ourselves.
