My mission in life is not merely to survive, but to thrive; and to do so with some passion, some compassion, some humour, and some style.

Keep on trying… each failure is one step closer to a success.

If you want to achieve excellence, you can get there today. As of this second, quit doing less-than-excellent work.

Throw back the shoulders, let the heart sing, let the eyes flash, let the mind be lifted up, look upward and say to yourself, “Nothing is impossible!!!”

When I thought I couldn’t go on, I forced myself to keep going. My success is based on persistence, not luck.

Rules are meant to be broken.

Make sure the product is worth your energy.

No one lives long enough to learn everything they need to learn starting from scratch. To be successful, we absolutely, positively have to find people who have already paid the price to learn the things that we need to learn to achieve our goals.

There are no traffic jams on the extra mile.

Do not be afraid of spending quality time by yourself. Find meaning or don’t find meaning but ‘steal’ some time and give it freely and exclusively to your own self. Opt for privacy and solitude. That doesn’t make you antisocial or cause you to reject the rest of the world. But you need to breathe. And you need to be.

Just believe in yourself. Even if you don’t, pretend that you do and, at some point, you will.

Most people think small because they are afraid of success, afraid of making decisions, afraid of winning.

In the marathon of life, success calls for dedication to the goal, perseverance, compassion for my fellow man, and faith in God.

Don’t let what you cannot do interfere with what you can do.

The great majority of people are wandering generalities rather than meaningful specifics. The fact is that you can’t hit a target that you can’t see. If you don’t know where you are going, you will probably end up somewhere else. You have to have goals.
