To be truly happy, you need a clear sense of direction. You need a commitment to something bigger and more important than yourself. You need to feel that your life stands for something, that you are somehow making a valuable contribution to your world.

One of the most important rules for success is this: Every great success is the result of hundreds and thousands of small efforts and accomplishments that no one sees or appreciates.

There are no limits on what you can achieve with your life, except the limits you accept in your mind

Only by contending with challenges that seem to be beyond your strength to handle at the moment you can grow more surely toward the stars.

No matter how many personal productivity techniques you master, there will always be more to do than you can ever accomplish in the time you have available to you, no matter how much it is.

Success is not a miracle. Nor is it a matter of luck. Everything happens for a reason, good or bad, positive or negative.

Successful people save in prosperous times so they have a financial cushion in times of recession.
