One of the things young people always ask me about is what is the secret to success. The secret is there is no secret. It's the basics. Blocking and tackling.
Don't ever let someone tell you you can't do something.
The world is your oyster. It's up to you to find the pearls.
Always, always pursue happiness.
The balance in your life is more important than the balance in your checking account.
People can't do something themselves, they want to tell you you can't do it. You want something, go get it.
