Most people fail in life because they major in minor things.

You want to change your life? Control the only thing you can control: the meaning you give something.

The average American thinks billionaire investors are going to be right based on some talking head. They invest and they have no backup plan. Americans think these guys are giant risk-takers. The truth is they believe in taking as little risk as humanly possible, for the maximum amount of upside. They're looking for that spread of disproportionate risk-reward.

You see, it's never the environment; it's never the events of our lives, but the meaning we attach to the events - how we interpret them - that shapes who we are today and who we'll become tomorrow.

Stay committed to your decisions, but stay flexible in your approach.

All decision-making is a values-clarifying exercise.

It is your decisions, and not your conditions, that determine your destiny.
