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.

Your ability to work with others on a complex task is a critical skill for advancement at work.

Everything you do is triggered by an emotion of either desire or fear.

Your ability to discipline yourself to set clear goals, and then to work toward them every day, will do more to guarantee your success than any other single factor.

Aspire greatly; anything less than a commitment to excellence becomes an acceptance of mediocrity.

Every great move forward in your life begins with a leap of faith, a step into the unknown.

I believe through learning and application of what you learn, you can solve any problem, overcome any obstacle and achieve any goal that you can set for yourself.
