I began to realize that thinking itself is nothing but the process of asking and answering questions.

The message of frustration is an exciting signal. it means that your brain beleives you could be doing better than you currently are.

You're in the midst of a war: a battle between the limits of a crowd seeking the surrender of your dreams, and the power of your true vision to create and contribute. It is a fight between those who will tell you what you cannot do, and that part of you that knows...and has always known...that we are more than our environment; and that a dream, backed by an unrelenting will to attain it, is truly a reality with an imminent arrival.

In order to be happy, human beings must feel they are continuing to grow. Clearly, we must adopt the concept of continuous improvement as a daily principle.

We usually overestimate what we think we can accomplish in one year-but we grossly underestimate what we can accomplish in a decade.

Don't put off joy and happiness. Strive to live each day to its fullest, squeezing all the joy you can out of each moment. Instead of measuring your life's value by your progress toward a single goal, remember that the direction you're headed in is more important than temporary results.

We've all been put to sleep by somebody who's told us all these wonderful facts that didn't matter because information without emotion is not retained.
