Don't confuse visibility with credibility.
You'll always get the good news; it's how fast you get the bad news that counts.
Don't let ups and downs leave you down and out.
Expect to make some mistakes when you try new and different approaches. Sometimes colossal failures lead to spectacular successes.
Failure is not falling down but staying down.
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.
