Don't take the casual approach to life. Casualness leads to casualties.

Your personal philosophy is the greatest determining factor in how your life works out.

The more valuable you become [in your company], the more influence you have, the better communicator you are, you manage your time better, and you recognize people for their contributions. You also become more valuable as a spouse, parent and friend.

Give so much to the improvement of yourself, that you don’t have time to criticize others.

Always leave people with a solution; the heaven if you do versus the hell if you don't. If you're really skillful you can put the person into the future solution. Shoaff used to say, 'Jim, I can see you now in your new clothes, in your new home, in your new car. I can see others walking up to you.' The Promise of the Future is an Awesome Force!

Since I will be no one's slave, I will be no one's master.

It is not the hours of practice that matter...it's what you put into the hours that counts.
