Lack of homework shows up in the marketplace as well as in the classroom.

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

Do whatever you have to do as quickly as you can, so you can do whatever you WANT to do, for as long as you can.

You need courage to be creative. You need the courage to see things differently, courage to go against the crowd, courage to take a different approach, courage to stand alone, if you have to, courage to choose activity over inactivity.

The best advice I ever came across on the subject of concentration is: Wherever you are, be there.

Don't wish it was easier, wish you were better. Don't wish for less problems, wish for more skills. Don't wish for less challenges, wish for more wisdom. The major value in life is not what you get. The major value in life is what you become. Success is not to be pursued; it is to be attracted by the person you become.

Success is neither magical nor mysterious. Success is the natural consequence of consistently applying the basic fundamentals.
