Failure should be our teacher, not our undertaker. Failure is delay, not defeat. It is a temporary detour, not a dead end. Failure is something we can avoid only by saying nothing, doing nothing, and being nothing.

How you spend your time is far more important than all the material possessions you may own or positions you may attain.

Self-esteem is felt even though you may not have done anything yet, but just feel the capability for it.

A passion for life is one of the most attractive qualities in a human being. If you want a teammate or a life mate who loves to be around you, all you need to do is love to be around.

Virtually nothing on earth can stop a person with a positive attitude who has his goals clearly in sight.

Everyone is motivated a little or a lot to do something or nothing. Motivation is the internalized drive toward the dominant thought of the moment. By definition, motivation is "motive in action."

A failure is like fertilizer; it stinks to be sure, but it makes things grow faster in the future.
