I always say there are two things to be successful. The first is decide exactly what you want - set your goals - and then determine how you will achieve them (what skills you will have to learn, what actions will you have to take). And these are totally under your control. These are not dependent upon anyone else.

Failure is an absolute prerequisite for success. You learn to succeed by failing.

Never assume you understand. Ask the questions.

Leaders set high standards. Refuse to tolerate mediocrity or poor performance.

When you develop yourself to the point where your belief in yourself is so strong that you know that you can accomplish anything you put your mind to, your future will be unlimited.

Aristotle once said that wisdom (the ability to make good decisions) is a combination of experience plus reflection. The more time that you take to think about your experiences, the more vital lessons you will gain from them.

Take complete control over the messages you allow into your conscious mind.
