Avoid negative people at all costs. They are the greatest destroyers of self-confidence and self-esteem.

Your ability to get along well with others will determine your happiness and success as much as any other factor.

Flood your life with ideas from many sources. Creativity needs to be exercised like a muscle. If you don't use it, you'll lose it!

So many people spend so much time on things that aren't important. It's the difference between success and failure.

To be successful, you need to really work hard. And every study in the last 50 years says that successful people say, "I am not smarter than anybody else. I just want to work harder and longer."

Everything that you do or say that raises the self-esteem of another raises yours as well.

Attitude and personality are as important as experience and ability.
