A mediocre person tells. A good person explains. A superior person demonstrates. A great person inspires others to see for themselves.

People begin to become successful the minute they decide to be.

When a person with money meets a person with experience, the person with the experience winds up with the money and the person with the money winds up with the experience.

I have never yet met a successful person who hasn't had to overcome either a little or a lot of adversity in his or her life. If life there is a lot of lumps and bumps... a lot of throttling up and a lot of throttling down.

The truth is, success often occurs for reasons we don't expect, under circumstances over which we have little control and sometimes unrelated to our own efforts. There is only one other lesson that success should teach us: Be as amazed by your own success as your friends are. If you truly are, you stand the best chance to repeat it.

You're as old as you behave.

It doesn't matter whether you are pursuing success in business, sports, the arts, or life in general: The bridge between wishing and accomplishing is discipline.
