Be intentional to add value to every person you meet everyday.

When I made that statement that the person discovers the secret of their success by their daily agenda, all of a sudden it hit me that if I could teach people to make today count; if I could really teach them what they need to do today to have a good day, that tomorrow would really take care of itself.

It was in the mid-70's, '74 or '75 I started doing leadership conferences for pastors and in '79 I wrote my first book "Think On These Things".

Do something you hate every day, just for the practice.

Positive thinking must be followed by positive doing.

The bookends of success are starting and finishing. Decisions help us start; discipline helps us finish.

You can't build a relationship with everybody in the room when you don't care about anybody in the room.
