We are not born with courage, but neither are we born with fear.

It's easy to carry the past as a burden instead of a school. It's easy to let it overwhelm you instead of educate you.

Somebody says, 'Well, I can't be concerned about other people. About the best I can do is to take care of myself' Well, then you will always be poor.

We get paid for bringing value to the marketplace. It takes time,... but we get paid for the value, not the time.

Our emotions need to be as educated as our intellect. It is important to know how to feel, how to respond, and how to let life in so that it can touch you.

There's nothing you can do about the past. But, you can do a great deal about your future. You don't have to be the same person you were yesterday. You can make changes in your life -- absolutely startling changes in a fairly short time. You can make changes you can't even conceive of now, if you give yourself a chance.

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