Anyone who minimizes the importance of success to your future has given up on his or her own chances of accomplishment and is spending his or her life trying to convince others to do the same.

The ambitious are criticized by those that have given up.

You will never be admired without being criticized first.

There are certain things in life that have limits, but you don't unless you impose limits on yourself.

You know, you don't need to grow old to die. I was dying at the age of 20 as a result of no direction and no purpose.

Most opportunities are disguised as problems.

Almost every problem people face in their careers and other aspects of their lives - such as failed diets, marriages, and financial problems - are all the result of not taking enough action.
