A lot of people want a shortcut. I find the best shortcut is the long way, which is basically two words: work hard.

The person who failed often knows how to avoid future failures. The person who knows only success can be more oblivious to all the pitfalls.

People are more important than things.

it make no sense to talk about rights without also talking about responsibilities

You can't get there alone. People have to help you, and I do believe in karma. I believe in paybacks. You get people to help you by telling the truth, by being earnest.

People lie for lots of reasons, often because it seems like a way to get what they want with less effort.

Complaining does not work as a strategy.
