Success is almost totally dependent upon drive and persistence.
If you concentrate on the present, you eliminate what happened yesterday and any apprehension of what may happen tomorrow.
Opportunities are problems in search of solutions.
When you make a mistake or get ridiculed or rejected, look at mistakes as learning experiences, and ridicule as ignorance. Look at rejection as part of one performance, not as a turn down of the performer.
Always give more in service, than you receive in payment, and customers will beat a path to your door.

When you are able to applaud yourself, it is much easier to applaud others.
Optimism boosts your energy and focuses your sights on reaching your goals, rather than wallowing in your setbacks.
Habits are like submarines; they run silent and deep.

Never follow the crowd in what you do; the crowd has never produced anything of lasting quality, value or beauty.
What you make of your life is up to you. You have all the tools and resources you need. Your answers lie inside of you.
The most important conversations, briefings, meeting, and lectures you will ever have will be those you hold with yourself in the privacy of your own mind.
By focusing on positive, healthy motivations and letting the more negative ones pass, you can purify the source of you imaginative power.
No matter how much time you’ve wasted in the past, you still have an entire today.
The ability to adapt is everything!
By staying focused and flexible, you will meet and exceed your major life-forming goals. Success is not a resting-place – it is a launching pad.
Expect to succeed even before you start. All winners, no matter what their game, start with the expectations that they are going to succeed. Winners say, “I want to do this and I CAN do this”, not “I would like to do this, but I don’t think I can.”
I would rather fail trying than succeed at doing nothing.
Individuals with a good self esteem can accept or reject the opinions of others, but never depend on them for their sense of worthiness.
