Don't wait for mentors to seek you out. Don't ever wait for your phone calls to be returned, your letters to be answered, your faxes to be responded to. Keep going out and asking question.

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

Contentment is for cows; a challenging purpose is for people.

Of all the judgments we make through life, none are more important than the estimate we place on ourselves according to our own internal standards.

Start edifying the flowers. Stop pointing out the weeds.

When you make a mistake or get ridiculed or rejected, look at mistakes as learning experiences, and ridicule as ignorance. Look at rejection as part of one performance, not as a turn down of the performer.

Optimism boosts your energy and focuses your sights on reaching your goals, rather than wallowing in your setbacks.
