Dale Carnegie

It isn’t what you have or who you are or where you are or what you are doing that makes you happy or unhappy. It is what you think about it.

Success is getting what you want. Happiness is wanting what you get.

People rarely succeed unless they have fun in what they are doing.

Develop success from failures. Discouragement and failure are two of the surest stepping stones to success.

The essence of all Art is to have pleasure in giving pleasure.

Our intentions create our reality.

Isn’t it amazing how much stuff we get done the day before vacation?

All progress takes place outside the comfort zone.

The major reason for setting a goal is for what it makes of you to accomplish it. What it makes of you will always be the far greater value than what you get.

People who have good relationships at home are more effective in the marketplace.

Think of yourself as on the threshold of unparalleled success. A whole, clear, glorious life lies before you. Achieve! Achieve!

You don’t have to get it perfect, you just have to get it going.

There are secret opportunities hidden inside every failure.

Ideas that enter the mind under fire remain there securely and for ever.

Don’t underestimate yourself or your possibilities.

When you are truly interested in other people, you will learn what they are interested in and if they have a need for your product. If they like you, and most people like folks who take an interest in them, they’ll help you find people who do need what you have to sell, even if they don’t.

Find the game where you can win, and then commit your life to playing it; and play to win.

Whether it’s eight o’clock in the morning or eight o’clock at night, I always try to greet others before they have a chance to speak to me.

Outstanding people have one thing in common: An absolute sense of mission.

He who thinks he leads, but has no followers, is only taking a walk.
