When you compete with someone as good or better than you, you may not always win, but you never lose.

Your life is your ship and you are the captain. Choose your course, take the wheel firmly and get on your way.

A person of character knows the difference between right and wrong and always tries to do the right thing for the right reason.

Many things in life are not fair but all things should be.

The way we treat people we think can't help or hurt us - like housekeepers, waiters, and secretaries - tells more about our character than how we treat people we think are important. How we behave when we think no one is looking or when we don't think we will get caught more accurately portrays our character than what we say or do in service of our reputations.

No leader or organization can achieve breakout growth until it treats, "we've always done it this way" as an opportunity to think anew rather than as a reason to stop thinking. Keep in mind, tradition should be a guide, not a jailer.

Not everything that is good for you is fun and not everything that is fun is good for you.
