They [the people under you] may desire help, but more than anything else they desire sympathy. Don't make the mistake of turning such men down with the statement that you have troubles of your own.

One of the most essential yet the hardest truths that I have had to learn is that every person should be his own hardest task-master.

Work whatever tools you may have at your command and better tools will be found as you go along.

Positive and negative emotions cannot occupy the mind at the same time.

Cherish your visions and your dreams, as they are the children of your soul; the blueprints of your ultimate achievements.

Are you waiting for success to arrive, or are you going out to find where it is hiding?

Remember,too,that all who succeed in life get off to a bad start,and pass through many heartbreaking struggles before they "arrive". The turning point in the lives of those who succeed usually comes at some moment of crisis,through which they are introduced to their "other selves".
