There are two ways to face the future. One way is with apprehension; the other is with anticipation

The major value in life is not what you get. The major value in life is what you become. That is why I wish to pay fair price for every value. If I have to pay for it or earn it, that makes something of me. If I get it for free, that makes nothing of me.

What you become is far more important that what you get. What you get will be influenced by what you become.

All values must be won by contest, and after they have been won, they must be defended.

So when somebody asks me to make a decision about a situation, I don't offer a solution, I ask a question: What are our options? Give me the good, give me the bad, give me the pretty, give me the ugly, give me the impossible, give me the possible, give me the convenient, give me the inconvenient. Give me the options. All I want are options. And once I have all the options before me, then I comfortably and confidently make my decision.

Develop a childlike fascination with life and people.

Don't join an easy crowd; you won't grow.
