Three rules for a career: Don’t sell anything you wouldn’t buy yourself. Don’t work for anyone you don’t respect and admire. Work only with people you enjoy.
Hard work beats talent when talent doesn’t work hard.
You have to be pretty driven to make it happen. Otherwise, you will just make yourself miserable.
Definiteness of purpose is the starting point of all achievement.
One secret of success in life is for a man to be ready for his opportunity when it comes.
Work with integrity and succeed with integrity.
Do not wait until the conditions are perfect to begin. Beginning makes the conditions perfect.
The great breakthrough in your life comes when you realize that you can learn anything you need to learn to accomplish any goal that you set for yourself. This means there are no limits on what you can be, have or do.
You begin to fly when you let go of self-limiting beliefs and allow your mind and aspirations to rise to greater heights.
Continuous personal and professional development is your key to the future.
Every act of self-discipline increases your confidence, trust, and belief in yourself and your abilities.
Aspire greatly; anything less than a commitment to excellence becomes an acceptance of mediocrity.
Integrity is the most valuable and respected quality of leadership. Always keep your word.
Think about your goals and review them daily. Every morning when you begin, take action on the most important task you can accomplish to achieve your most important goal at the moment.
The future belongs to the competent. It belongs to those who are very, very good at what they do. It does not belong to the well meaning.
Continuous learning is the minimum requirement for success in any field.
When you start doing what you love to do, you will never work another day in your life.
Effective leaders are made, not born. They learn from trial and error, and from experience.
Don’t wait for an employer, friend, or mentor to show appreciation for your work. Take pride in your own efforts on a daily basis.
A sign of wisdom and maturity is when you come to terms with the realization that your decisions cause your rewards and consequences. You are responsible for your life, and your ultimate success depends on the choices you make.
