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.

There are some things you don’t have to know how it works – only that it works. While some people are studying the roots, others are picking the fruit. It just depends on which end of this you want to get in on." -- Jim Rohn

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.

What kind of influence do you want to have? What kind of effect do you want to have on other people? Never mistake the power of influence.

Be grateful for what you have, while in pursuit of what you want.
