There's not a lot you can do about the national economy but there is a lot you can do about your personal economy.

Success is the doing, not the getting - in the trying, not the triumph.

If you want to achieve your goals, help others achieve theirs.

Fortunately, problems are an everyday part of our life. Consider this: If there were no problems, most of us would be unemployed. Realistically, the more problems we have and the larger they are, the greater our value to our employer.

We can let our past [difficulties and failures] beat us or teach us [to be more knowledgeable, competent and realistic in the future]!

If standard of living is your major objective, quality of life almost never improves, but if quality of life is your number one objective, your standard of living almost always improves.

When you are tough on yourself, life is going to be infinitely easier on you.
