Nothing is as hard as it looks; everything is more rewarding than you expect; and if anything can go right it will and at the best possible moment.

All of the people in my life whom I consider to be close friends or colleagues are good thinkers.

Losers focus on what they are going through; winners focus on what they are going to.

It's more important to get along with people than to get ahead of them.

What is your legacy? Are you intentional about the sort of influence you want to have on the world around you? Being aware of how you want to be remembered gives you a perspective on what is truly important. Leadership is influence, and relationships are the foundation of leadership. Nothing is more predictive of your legacy than the quality of people you surround yourself with.

The person who does only what he must when he is in the mood or when it's convenient isn't going to be successful.

Set the tone for your day be treating people better than you expect to be treated by them. Be the first to smile. Express your appreciation for them. Expect the best out of them. If you act first, you will set yourself up for success.
