If you had seen me back in high school, there's no way you would have ever said I would become an author or teacher because I was a horrible student.

I believe in taking care of myself and teaching other people who want to learn. I don't believe in just printing money and giving money. I'm willing to teach those who are willing to learn. If you're not willing to learn, then go vote for Obama. I'm not Republican or Democrat, so don't get me wrong.

When you create wealth, it’s your responsibility to return it to society.

You can either blame everybody else or you can take a look at yourself and determine where you can improve.

What you don’t know keeps you poor.

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

We live in a global community and we can't really remain isolated. I believe that when we hold a very narrow view about our attitudes of politics or culture or religion, then we cut out the opportunity to really engage with other points of view.
