Persons who reach the higher rungs in business management, selling, engineering, religious work, writing, acting, and in every other pursuit get there by following conscientiously and continuously a plan for self-development and growth.

People do more for you when you make them feel important.

How much we can do depends on how much we think we can do. When you really believe you can do more, your mind thinks creatively and shows you the way.

The thought "It's impossible" sets off a chain reaction of other thoughts to prove you're right.

Remind yourself regularly that you are better than you think you are. Successful people are not superhuman. Success does not require a super-intellect. Nor is there anything mystical about success. And success isn't based on luck. Successful people are just ordinary folks who have developed belief in themselves and what they do. Never...yes, never...sell yourself short.

Believe it can be done. When you really believe something can be done, your mind will find the ways to do it.

Don't let tradition paralyze your mind. Be receptive to new ideas. Be experimental. Try new approaches. Be progressive in everything you do.
