Obstacles are necessary for success because in selling, as in all careers of importance, victory comes only after many struggles and countless defeats. Yet each struggle, each defeat, sharpens your skills and strengths, your courage and your endurance, your ability and your confidence and thus each obstacle is a comrade-in-arms forcing you to become better... or quit. Each rebuff is an opportunity to move forward; turn away from them, avoid them, and you throw away your future.

The only certain means of success is to render more and better service than is expected of you, no matter what the task may be. This is a habit followed by all successful people since the beginning of time. Therefore I saith the surest way to doom yourself to mediocrity is to perform only the work for which you are paid.

Work as though you would live forever, and live as though you would die today. Go another mile!

True security lies not in the things one has, but in the things one can do without.

Today.....I begin a new life".

Today I will be the master of my emotions.

I will laugh at the world. And most of all, I will laugh at myself for man is most comical when he takes himself too seriously.
