The real basic power of an individual isn't what he or she knows; it's the ability to think and learn and face new challenges.

What is guilt? It is moral self-reproach-I did wrong when it was possible to have done otherwise.

Your life is important. Whether you achieve what you want in life matters. Whether you are happy matters. Honor and fight for your highest potential. Self-realizatio n-the realization of the best within you-is the noblest goal of your existence.

Every day, it's important to ask and answer these questions: "What's good in my life?" and "What needs to be done?"

Doing more of what doesn't work doesn't work.

Integrity is congruence between what you know, what you profess, and what you do.

Whether your focus is on preserving and strengthening family ties in a world of increasingly unstable relationships, gaining access to a decent job, growing and evolving as a person, or guiding a company through the stormy seas of a fiercely competitive global marketplace-whether your goals are material, emotional, or spiritual-the price of success is the same: thinking, learning. To be asleep at the wheel-to rely only on the known, familiar, and automatized-is to invite disaster.
