One of the marks of excellent people is that they never compare themselves with others. They only compare themselves with themselves and with their past accomplishments and future potential.

Your greatest resource is your time.

The more accurately you can think about who you are, what you want to accomplish and how to accomplish it, the more successful you will be.

Make a habit of dominating the listening, and let the prospect dominate the talking.

One quality of leaders and high achievers in every area seems to be a commitment to ongoing personal and professional development.

Clear, written goals have a wonderful effect on your thinking. They motivate you and galvanize you into action. They stimulate your creativity, release your energy, and help you to overcome procrastination as much as any other factor.

The faster you work and the more you get done, the better you feel. Most successful people work at a higher tempo of activity than unsuccessful people. They don't necessarily do different things, but they get things done more efficiently in a given time than the average person.
