Failures do what is tension relieving, while winners do what is goal achieving.

Positive self-direction is the action plan that all winners in life use to turn imagination into reality, fantasy into fact, and dreams into actual goals.

Pessimists see a problem behind every opportunity. Optimists see an opportunity behind every problem.

Self-respect and a clear conscience are powerful components of integrity and are the basis for enriching your relationships with others.

As long as we persist in our deepest destiny, we will continue to grow.

It is not in the pursuit of happiness that we find fulfillment, it is in the happiness of pursuit.

One of the best ways to properly evaluate and adapt to the many environmental stresses of life is to simply view them as normal. The adversity and failures in our lives, if adapted to and viewed as normal corrective feedback to use to get back on target, serve to develop in us an immunity against anxiety, depression, and the adverse responses to stress. Instead of tackling the most important priorities that would make us successful and effective in life, we prefer the path of least resistance and do things simply that will relieve our tension, such as shuffling papers and majoring in minors.
