If you were to take the lessons and experiences you've acquired in the past one year, five years or 10 years and skillfully invest that into your future, how powerful would that be? Where would you find yourself at the end of the next year?

Be like a sponge when it comes to each new experience. If you want to be able to express it well, you must first be able to absorb it well.

Don't ask for security, ask for adventure. Better to live 30 years full of adventure than a 100 years safe in the corner.

Books are easy to find and easy to buy. A paperback these days only costs six or seven dollars. You can borrow that from your kids!

We need a variety of input and influence and voices. You cannot get all the answers to life and business from one person or from one source.

Don’t spend most of your time on the voices that don’t count. Tune out the shallow voices so that you will have more time to tune in the valuable ones.

Remember that all success is based on long-term commitment, faith, discipline, attitude and a few stepping stones along the way.
