our lives change in two ways :through the people we meet and the books we read

You don't have to know everything as long as you know people who know the things you don't

Expect to make some mistakes when you try new and different approaches. Sometimes colossal failures lead to spectacular successes.

It's only lonely at the top if you forget all the people you met along the way and fail to acknowledge their contributions to your success.

Optimists are right. So are pessimists. It's up to you to choose which you will be.

You can win more friends with your ears than with your mouth. People who feel like they're being listened to feel accepted and appreciated. They feel like they're being taken seriously and what they say really matters.

Like it or not, life is a series of competitions. You may be competing for a grade, a spot on a team, a job, or the largest account in town. The higher your self-esteem is, the better you get along with yourself, with others, and the more you'll accomplish.
