I do believe I am special. My special gift is my vision, my commitment, and my willingness to do whatever it takes.

There is no such thing as failure. There are only results.

My philosophy is to "kill the monster while it's little." The best time to handle a "negative" emotion is when you first begin to feel it. It's much more difficult to interrupt an emotional pattern once it's full-blown.

Read no less than ½ hour a day or listen to audiobooks while in the car or cleaning the house. Biographies of great people taught me, as I said, that even eminent people fail but keep getting up.

Most people have no idea of the giant capacity we can immediately command when we focus all of our resources on mastering a single area of our lives.

There are no failures, only outcomes. As long as I learn something, I am succeeding.

If we surround ourselves with people who are successful, who are forward-moving, who are positive, who are focused on producing results, who support us, it will challenge us to be more and do more and share more. If you can surround yourself with people who will never let you settle for less than you can be, you have the greatest gift that anyone can hope for.
