Real power comes by empowering others.

Make certain that your goals are not measured in comparison with others.

Don't wait for an employer, friend, or mentor to show appreciation for your work. Take pride in your own efforts on a daily basis.

There are two primary choices in life: to accept conditions as they exist, or accept the responsibility for changing them.

Self-esteem is felt even though you may not have done anything yet, but just feel the capability for it.

Individuals with a good self esteem can accept or reject the opinions of others, but never depend on them for their sense of worthiness.

Personal development is the belief that you are worth the effort, time, and energy needed to develop yourself.
