Failure is no more fatal than success is permanent.

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

Pessimism doesn't grow your business or even maintain the status quo. The pessimists on your staff make the job harder for everyone around them. They make difficulties out of opportunities.

Many, perhaps most, people who lose their jobs are mistaken about the reason for which they lost their jobs. Some will say that they're failures, others that their boss had it in for them, and others yet that they were sure their career ended because of a stupid faux pas they made at the company picnic.

You'll never please everyone, but you only have to please a few people to get an offer.

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.

If you don't look ahead, you'll always be behind.
