Brick walls are there for reason. And once you get over them-- even if someone has practically had to throw you over-- it can be helpful to others to tell them how you did it.

Be willing to apologize. Proper apologies have three parts: 1) What I did was wrong. 2) I'm sorry that I hurt you. 3) How do I make it better? It's the third part that people tend to forget. Apologize when you screw up and focus on other people, not on yourself.

It is not the things we do in life that we regret on our death bed. It is the things we do not.

I don't suffer from an abundance of politeness.

Take Time Out. It's not a real vacation if you're reading email or calling in for messages.

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.

When you do the right thing, good stuff has a way of happening.
