Tackle the difficult things first in the morning; make changes in the way you network. Treat everyone with respect and dignity. This stops you from cynicism and negativity. End your day with that same attitude you started. Renew your contract with a day well completed.

I learned quickly that motivating people would be the most important responsibility of my career.

If you are not willing to work hard and establish discipline in your life, then all your dreams are merely pipe dreams.

Postponing action is only postponing achievement.

Set higher standards for your own performance than anyone else around you, and your only competition will be with yourself

Make incremental progress, change comes not by the yard, but by the inch.

Excellence is the unlimited ability to improve the quality of what you have to offer.
