Achievers don't submit to instant gratification; they INVEST in the LONG-TERM payoff

Small, seemingly insignificant steps completed consistently over time will create a radical difference

Consistency is the key to achieving and maintaining momentum.

If all the people around you are happy with you, you are not doing great work. When you stop being like other people, they stop liking you. That's just how it goes. There's no escaping it. And it's okay. What you need to understand about that disapproval is that it's a sign you're doing something right.

We all come into this world the same: naked, scared, and ignorant. After that grand entrance, the life we end up with is simply an accumulation of the choices we make.

Have you ever been bitten by an elephant? How about a mosquito? It's the little things in life that will bite you. For most of us, it's the frequent, small and seemingly inconsequential choices that are of grave concern.

Success is not for those who want it, nor those who need it, but for those who are utterly determined to seize it--whatever it takes.
