When you reach an obstacle, turn it into an opportunity. You have the choice. You can overcome and be a winner, or you can allow it to overcome you and be a loser. The choice is yours and yours alone. Refuse to throw in the towel. Go that extra mile that failures refuse to travel. It is far better to be exhausted from success than to be rested from failure.

Never give up, because you never know if the next try is going to be the one that works.

The first step is the hardest – making a commitment to yourself, for yourself.

Most of us die with our music underplayed...We should try to step out of our comfort zones and do the things we're capable of.

No matter how busy you are, you must take time to make the other person feel important.

Sometimes listening itself may not be enough-some people must be prodded if you are to find out what they're thinking.

Whenever I meet someone, I try to imagine her wearing an invisible sign that says: MAKE ME FEEL IMPORTANT. I respond to this sign immediately, and it works wonders.
