Every time we choose action over ease or labor over rest, we develop an increasing level of self-worth, self-respect and self-confidence. In the final analysis, it is how we feel about ourselves that provides the greatest reward from any activity. It is not what we get that makes us valuable, it is what we become in the process of doing that brings value into our lives. It is activity that converts human dreams into human reality, and that conversion from idea into actuality gives us a personal value that can come from no other source.

Find someone who is willing to share the truth with you.

Better understated than overstated. Let people be surprised that it was more than you promised and easier than you said.

People let little things cheat them out of big opportunities

Ambitious people know that everything they do and every discipline they adhere to, form the links in the chain of events that will lead them to their final destination.

Pay attention to your body. Is this the only place where they should live.

Your family and your love must be cultivated like a garden. Time, effort, and imagination must be summoned constantly to keep any relationship flourishing and growing.
