Good people are found not changed. They can change themselves, but you can't change them. You want good people, you have to find them. If you want motivated people, you have to find them, not motivate them.

You say, 'The country is messed up.' That's like cursing the soil and the seed and the sunshine and the rain, which is all you've got. Don't curse all you've got. When you get your own planet, you can rearrange this whole deal. This one you've got to take like it comes.

Go with your gut instincts even if it is contrarian to what the "experts" suggest.

Be sensitive to the plight of others. You have to know about the tragedies as well as the triumphs, the failures as well as the success.

If you don't have a plan for what you want, then you will probably find yourself buying into someone else's plan and later find out that was not the direction you wanted to go. You've got to be the architect of your life.

If you don't change your approach than you will never change your results!

You cannot make progress without making decisions.
