Highly motivated achievers are looking not to receive but to contribute. They are looking for problems that are personally satisfying to solve.

The easiest thing is to make sure you feel happy and satisfied in this moment. Setting long term goals is much more effort taking, but at the same time much more fulfilling.

Positive self-esteem is the quality of simply saying thank you and accepting any value that is attributed to you by others.

Better to seek change by inspiration, than out of desperation.

There is an island fantasy A "Someday I'll," we'll never see When recession stops, inflation ceases Our mortgage is paid, our pay increases That Someday I'll where problems end Where every piece of mail is from a friend Where the children are sweet and already grown . . . . Most unhappy people . . . put happiness on "law away" And struggle through a blue today . . . . Life's most important revelation Is that the journey means more than the destination . . .

You must learn from your past mistakes, but not lean on your past successes.

Focus all your attention and energy on the achievement of the objectives you are involved with right now.
