Never allow anyone to rain on your parade and thus cast a pall of gloom and defeat on the entire day. Remember that no talent, no self-denial, no brains, no character, are required to set up in the fault-finding business. Nothing external can have any power over you unless you permit it. Your time is too precious to be sacrificed in wasted days combating the menial forces of hate, jealously, and envy. Guard your fragile life carefully. Only God can shape a flower, but any foolish child can pull it to pieces.
Og MandinoWe are unhappy because we no longer have our self esteem. We are unhappy, because we no longer believe we are a special miracle, a special creation of God. We have lost faith in ourselves.
Og MandinoYou need not spend your life wallowing in failure, ignorance, grief, poverty, shame and self-pity. There is a better way to live.
Og MandinoObstacles are necessary for success because in selling, as in all careers of importance, victory comes only after many struggles and countless defeats.
