Every great accomplishment of mankind has been preceded by an extended period, often over many years, of concentrated effort.

Visualization is the human being's vehicle to the future - good, bad, or indifferent. It's strictly in our control.

Some people act as if it were demeaning to their manhood to wish to be well-read but you can no more be a healthy person mentally without reading substantial books than you can be a vigorous person physically without eating solid food. Books should be chosen, not for their freedom from evil, but for their possession of good. Dr. Johnson said: "Whilst you stand deliberating which book your son shall read first, another boy has read both."

Now, if you want to get rich, you have only to produce a product or service that will give people greater use value than the price you charge for it. How rich you get will be determined by the number of people to whom you can sell the product or service.

All you have to do is hold your goal before you and everything else will take care of itself.

Ask yourself every morning, ‘how can I increase my service today?’

Ideas are elusive, slippery things. Best to keep a pad of paper and a pencil at your bedside, so you can stab them during the night before they get away.
