Discipline is doing within, while you do without.

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.

People procrastinate because they are afraid of the success that they know will result if they move ahead now.

Stop stewing and start doing!

Attitude is the criterion for success. But you can't buy an attitude for a million dollars. Attitudes are not for sale. ...Your attitude towards your potential is either the key to or the lock in the door of personal fulfillment.

Your best friend should bring out the best in you

If you have real, internal value, you don't need a loud, expensive imitation.
