Don't ever let economic alone determine your career or how you spend the majority of your time.

Your habits will determine your quality of life.

Be a role model not a critic. Don't tell your children, your peers, or your subordinates what to do - show them. And when the lesson is over, keep showing them by demonstrating that your actions are part of your character, not part of their curriculum.

Virtually nothing can stop a man who has a goal clearly in sight.

The first step toward success will be the biggest one.

Habits start out as off-hand remarks, magazine advertisements, friendly hints, experiments - like flimsy cobwebs with little substance. They grow with practice, layer by layer - thought on thought - fused with imagination and emotion until they become like steel cables - unbreakable. Habits are attitudes which grow from cobwebs into cables that control your everyday life. Self-discipline alone can make or break a habit. Self discipline alone can effect a permanent change in your self image and in you. Self-discipline achieves goals. Self discipline is not 'doing without,' it is 'doing within.'

Perseverance does not always mean sticking to the same thing forever. It means giving full concentration and effort to whatever you are doing right now.
