Remember, if you do the things you ought to do when you ought to do them, then someday you can do the things you want to do when you want to do them…Whatever you do or dream you can do—begin it. Boldness has genius and power and magic in it.

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.

Those who are blessed with the most talent don't necessarily outperform everyone else. It's the people with follow-through who excel.

If you're good to your staff when things are going well, they'll rally when times go bad.

I put a lot of emphasis on how to treat people. The reason for this is simple. The real success of our personal lives and careers can best be measured by the relationships we have with the people most dear to us - our family, friends, and coworkers. If we fail in this aspect of our lives, no matter how vast our worldly possessions or how high on the corporate ladder we climb, we will have achieved very little.

There are three types of people in this world: those who make things happen, those who watch things happen and those who wonder what happened. We all have a choice. You can decide which type of person you want to be. I have always chosen to be in the first group.

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