In military school, on day one you must memorize the mission of the Merchant Marine Academy.

Education is more valuable than money, in the long run.

You and only you are responsible for your life choices and decisions.

Success takes an investment in time, dedication, and sacrifice. This is true education. It is a process.

It's through our expenses that we become richer or poorer, regardless of how much money we make.

There are no bad business and investment opportunities, but there are bad entrepreneurs and investors. To be a successful business owner and investor, you have to be emotionally neutral to winning and losing. Winning and losing are just part of the game. The size of your success is measured by the strength of your desire, the size of your dream and how you handle disappointment along the way.

A goal is different from a wish. You may wish to be rich, but there's no responsibility for it. With a goal, it's on you to achieve it.
