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.

If you wish others to believe in you, you must first convince them that you believe in them.

Anyone too busy to say thank you will get fewer and fewer chances to say it.

A string of successes can kill you if they make you think, 'Hey, I'm smart; I can't make any mistakes'.

There is no shame in taking pride in achievements or position. But nobody gets to the top alone.

Good commanders look after their troops, and good troops look after their commanders.

Being rich isn't about money. Being rich is a state of mind. Some of us, no matter how much money we have, will never be free enough to take time to stop and eat the heart of the watermelon. And some of us will be rich without ever being more than a paycheck ahead of the game.
