The choices you make from this day forward will lead you, step by step, to the future you deserve.

The only time you have is the where and when of right now. There will always be good times, bad times, hard times, and complete disasters. However, there is no other option but to be where you are, when you are. That is a universal truth for everyone. The important thing is how you respond, what you decide to do, and when you decide to do it.

Until you take the first step forward, failure remains reassuringly impossible.

Trust me. If you do not decide where you are heading, and refuse to take the appropriate action, you will end up being shaped into what others would have you become. Then any change will not be made for your benefit but for theirs.

Nobody ever kicked a dog wagging its tail

Spend your time designing the greatest reputation a man could possess.

Everything you desire is always just outside your comfort zone, dear boy. If it wasn't you would already possess it, would you not?
