Success is not a resting-place - it is a launching pad.

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.

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.

Habits begin as offhanded remarks, ideas and images. And then, layer upon layer, through practice, they grow from cobwebs into cables that shackle or strengthen our lives.

Determination gives you the resolve to keep going in spite of the roadblocks that lay before you.

Life is inherently risky. There is only one big risk you should avoid at all costs, and that is the risk of doing nothing.

A sign of wisdom and maturity is when you come to terms with the realization that your decisions cause your rewards and consequences. You are responsible for your life, and your ultimate success depends on the choices you make.
