Only as we keep an open communication with our deep inner life will we have the wisdom to make effective choices.

When we listen with the intent to understand others, rather than with the intent to reply, we begin true communication and relationship building. Opportunities to then speak openly and to be understood come much more naturally and easily.

The character ethic, which I believe to be the foundation of success, teaches that there are basic principles of effective living, and that people can only experience true success and enduring happiness as they learn and integrate these principles into their basic character.

When we pick up one end of the stick, we pick up the other.

People are your most valuable asset. Only people can be made to appreciate in value.

Link yourself to your potential, not to your past.

Happiness, like unhappiness, is a proactive choice.
