If we all did the things we are really capable of doing, we would literally astound ourselves.
Negative results are just what I want. They’re just as valuable to me as positive results. I can never find the thing that does the job best until I find the ones that don’t.
Genius is seldom recognized for what it is: a great capacity for hard work.
I am not the richest, smartest or most talented person in the world, but I succeed because I keep going and going and going.

We reap what we sow. We are the makers of our own fate. The wind is blowing; those vessels whose sails are unfurled catch it, and go forward on their way, but those which have their sails furled do not catch the wind. Is that the fault of the wind? We make our own destiny.
My definition of success? The more you’re actively and practically engaged, the more successful you will be.

The only thing in your control is effort. That’s all, and that’s everything.

Effort is the siamese twin of success.
Don’t worry about what you can’t control. Our focus and energy needs to be on the things we CAN control. Attitude, effort, focus- these are the things we can control...
