Pessimists see a problem behind every opportunity. Optimists see an opportunity behind every problem.

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.

No one is born with self confidence. Self confidence is learned and earned with experience.

Your attitude is either the lock on, or the key to the door of your success.

No matter how much time you've wasted in the past, you still have all of tomorrow. Success depends upon using it wisely by planning and setting priorities. The fact is, time is worth more than money, and by killing time we are killing our own chances for success.

On our track to success, we have to fight the tendency to look at others and see how far they've come. The only thing that counts is how we use the potential we possess and that we run our race to the best of our abilities.

Better to seek change by inspiration, than out of desperation.
