Stop setting goals. Goals are pure fantasy unless you have a specific plan to achieve them.

Trust is the highest form of human motivation. It brings out the very best in people. But it takes time and patience.

Effective people are not problem-minded; they're opportunity minded. They feed opportunities and starve problems.

Paradigms are powerful because they create the lens through which we see the world.

Trust is the one thing that affects everything else you're doing. It's a performance multiplier which takes your trajectory upwards, for every activity you engage in, from strategy to execution.

We simply assume that the way we see things is the way they really are or the way they should be. And our attitudes and behaviors grow out of these assumptions.

Highly effective people tend to be proactive. They decide to find a better job or to have better health, rather than of responding to whatever curves life throws at them.
