Loosen up. Relax. Except for rare life-and-death matters, nothing is as important as it first seems.

Let perseverance be your engine and hope your fuel.

No partnership matters more. The relationship with the one you marry provides 90 percent of your happiness and 90 percent of your misery.

If you need to bring in a business partner, make sure your partner brings along some money.

Commit yourself to constant improvement. Commit yourself to quality. Be persistent, persistent, persistent...and have a grateful heart!

Do you always want to be right or do you want to be happy?

I've learned that regardless of color or age, we all need about the same amount of love.
