Take advice, but don't take orders.
The greatest gift you can give to somebody is your own personal development
For things to change you need to change. For things to get better you need to get better. The good news is you can change, you can get better and you can start right where you are at and you can go as far as you want to go.
Direction determines destination.
Successful people are action oriented.
Count the cost first. Don’t pay too big a price for pursuing minor values.
