To me, words are like stickpins. I can throw a word at you and it will bounce right off your body. But if I take that little stickpin and wire it to the back of an iron bar called human emotion, I can put that thing right through your heart.

Tap into people's emotions. We've all been put to sleep by a speaker who just gives the facts. You must tap into people's feelings.

Live life fully while you're here. Experience everything. Take care of yourself and your friends. Have fun, be crazy, be weird.

Our idea of a real problem is someone else's idea of an ultimate dream. Put the 'problem' in perspective

Ten years from now you'll laugh at whatever's stressing you out today. So why not laugh now?

Determination and persistence are melded together. Their basis comes from people who stay hungry and don`t allow themselves to get too comfortable. Entering a comfort zone is the fastest way to kill your drive and determination, at which point you begin to accept whatever you have as being "good enough." There is no self-esteem in accepting the status quo. There are tremendous emotional and psychological rewards that come with pushing yourself to break through past limits and, in the process, creating something of value for yourself and others.

The more rules you have about how people have to be, how life has to be for you to be happy, the less happy you’re going to be.
