If you just communicate, you can get by. But if you communicate skillfully, you can work miracles.

The future does not get better by hope, it gets better by plan. And to plan for the future we need goals.

Live a vital life. If you live well, you will earn well. If you live well, it will show in your face; it will show in the texture of your voice. There will be something unique and magical about you if you live well. It will infuse not only your personal life but also your business life. And it will give you a vitality nothing else can give.

Always do more than what you get paid for. It makes you a valuable person.

If you don't have a plan for what you want, then you will probably find yourself buying into someone else's plan and later find out that was not the direction you wanted to go. You've got to be the architect of your life.

Commit yourself to something bigger than yourself.

You don't get paid for the hour. You get paid for the value you bring to the hour.
