The winner's edge is not in a gifted birth, a high IQ, or in talent. The winner's edge is all in the attitude, not aptitude. Attitude is the criterion for success.

When you are able to applaud yourself, it is much easier to applaud others.

Always give more in service, than you receive in payment, and customers will beat a path to your door.

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.

I would rather fail trying than succeed at doing nothing.

The easiest thing is to make sure you feel happy and satisfied in this moment. Setting long term goals is much more effort taking, but at the same time much more fulfilling.

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