Self-programming, what you believe and affirm about yourself, is the basis of who you are.
People will always respect you when you're in the process of being better.
Make no apologies for who you are.
More is learned in pain than in pleasure.
You can never get more by saying "No." You can hold a current position by saying "No", but you can only move forward by saying "Yes."
People will always be more willing to give you things that they think you don't need.
