Integrity is the most valuable and respected quality of leadership. Always keep your word.

Plan your work and work your plan. Decide in advance exactly how you are going to get from where you are to where you want to go.

When you remain angry with another person, you give away your emotional control to that person each time you think of him or here. You allow him or her to control your emotions at long distance. By not forgiving, you allow that person to run your emotional life, exactly as if he or she were right there with you and the situation was occurring all over again.

Never settle for anything less than your best.

The world seems to belong to those who reach out and grab it with both hands. It belongs to those who do something rather than just wish and hope and plan and pray, and intend to do something someday, when everything is just right.

Act with purpose, courage, confidence, competence and intelligence until these qualities 'lock in' to your subconscious mind.

Focus very clearly on a few small things. The purpose of a business is to give someone something that they want. Have a product or service that's really excellent. [...] What can you offer that no one else can offer and will satisfy them at a higher level than what anyone else can?
