At home, be grateful. At work, be appreciative. Gratitude is a gift we give ourselves. Appreciation is a gift we give to others.

A certain formula for an unhappy life is pursue someone else's definition of success. Until you define your own goals and purposes your life is not your own and there can be no sense of fulfillment no matter how much you achieve.

What will matter in the end is not what you bought but what you built; not what you got but what you gave; not what you learned by what you taught. What will matter is not your competence but your character.

Failure is much easier to handle if you just think of it as feedback to guide your next effort.

There is no objective criteria for either success or failure. People who achieve their goals are successful, those who don't are not.

Integrity, respect, compassion, and fairness become obstacles to people who think winning is everything

Neither the intensity of your feelings nor the certainty of your convictions is any assurance that you are right.
