When you are younger, you worry about what people think about you. When you are older, you realize that no one was ever thinking about you at all.

Your financial success is directly related to the size of the problem you solve for other people (solve BIG problems and you'll make BIG money).

Your life only gets better when you get better.

There is a direct relationship between your own level of self-esteem and the health of your personality. The more you like and respect yourself, the more you like and respect other people. The more you consider yourself to be a valuable and worthwhile person, the more you consider others to be valuable and worthwhile as well. The more you accept yourself just as you are, the more you accept others just as they are.

An average person who develops the habit of setting clear priorities and getting important tasks completed quickly will run circles around a genius who talks a lot and makes wonderful plans but gets very little done.

Growth and fulfillment come from abandoning old practices and embracing new ones.

For every difficulty that supposedly stops a person from succeeding there are thousands who have had it a lot worse and have succeeded anyway. So can you.
