The only truly safe thing you can do is to try over and over again. To go for it, to get rejected, to repeat, to strive, to wish. Without rejection there is no frontier, there is no passion, and there is no magic.

Success, in every case, comes from the alchemy of your health, your mind, your positive energy, and the real world situations you persistently improve for yourself.

Your hands are not made to type out memos. Or put paper through fax machines. Or hold a phone up while you talk to people you dislike. 100 years from now your hands will rot like dust in your grave. You have to make wonderful use of those hands now. Kiss your hands so they can make magic.

It's easy to get anonymous people to hate you. Have an opinion. Be creative. Be yourself.

Investing is for wealth preservation, not wealth creation, so first you have to make wealth.

Sometimes it's better to just be quiet, to not think of anything at all. Out of silence comes the greatest creativity.

If you act like the river, you ultimately flow past all the rocks along the way.
