Fear is not your enemy. It is a compass pointing you to the areas where you need to grow.
Once your mind becomes absolutely still, your intelligence transcends human limitations.
The three things that motivate creative people – autonomy, mastery, purpose!
Solid character will reflect itself in consistent behavior, while poor character will seek to hide behind deceptive words and actions.
You must decide if you are going to rob the world or bless it with the rich, valuable, potent, untapped resources locked away within you.
If you want to become successful, seek to become a person of value.
The greatest enemy of progress is your last success. You could become so proud of what you’ve already accomplished that you stop moving ahead to what you can still accomplish.
Successful people see adversity as a stepping stone rather than a stumbling block.
No matter what your current ability is, effort is what ignites that ability and turns it into accomplishment.
In a growth mindset, challenges are exciting rather than threatening. So rather than thinking, oh, I’m going to reveal my weaknesses, you say, wow, here’s a chance to grow.
What did you learn today? What mistake did you make that taught you something? What did you try hard at today?
Effort is one of those things that gives meaning to life. Effort means you care about something, that something is important to you and you are willing to work for it.
Test scores and measures of achievement tell you where a student is, but they don’t tell you where a student could end up.

Becoming is better than being.
What did you try hard at today?
Picture your brain forming new connections as you meet the challenge and learn. Keep on going.
You’re in charge of your mind. You can help it grow by using it in the right way.
This is hard. This is fun.
Don’t judge. Teach. It’s a learning process.
