I never wanted to do away with my intensity because I felt it was a gift that helped put fuel in my engine, giving me exceptional drive and energy.

Mistakes are merely steps up the ladder.

If you are not making the progress that you would like to make and are capable of making, it is simply because your goals are not clearly defined.

You never work for someone else. The truth is someone is paying you to work for yourself.

If you don't have discipline, you don't have anything

Plan your progress carefully; hour-by hour, day-by-day, month-by-month. Organized activity and maintained enthusiasm are the wellsprings of your power.

Crystallize your goals. Make a plan for achieving them and set yourself a deadline. Then, with supreme confidence, determination and disregard for obstacles and other people's criticisms, carry out your plan.
