It takes humility to seek feedback. It takes wisdom to understand it, analyze it and appropriately act on it.
A man ought to live in this world like a lotus leaf, which grows in water but is never moistened by water; so a man ought to live in the world – his heart to God and his hands to work.
Never be discouraged. Every wrong attempt left behind is another step forward, bringing you closer to your goals.
A person’s success in life can usually be measured by the number of uncomfortable conversations he or she is willing to have.
I want you to get excited about who you are, what you are, what you have, and what can still be for you. I want to inspire you to see that you can go far beyond where you are right now.
Leadership is not about a title or a designation. It’s about impact, influence and inspiration. Impact involves getting results, influence is about spreading the passion you have for your work, and you have to inspire team-mates and customers.
One can choose to go back toward safety or forward toward growth. Growth must be chosen again and again; fear must be overcome again and again.
In 1995 I had $7 bucks in my pocket and knew two things: I’m broke as hell and one day I won’t be. You Can Achieve Anything!
You are not your resume, you are your work.
Everybody wants to be famous, but nobody wants to do the work. I live by that. You grind hard so you can play hard. At the end of the day, you put all the work in, and eventually it’ll pay off. It could be in a year, it could be in 30 years. Eventually, your hard work will pay off.
The very important thing you should have is patience.
I am learning every day to allow the space between where I am and where I want to be to inspire me and not terrify me.
I’ve seen over and over how much self-belief drives outcomes. And that’s why I force myself to sit at the table, even when I am not sure I belong there – and yes, this still happens to me. And when I’m not sure anyone wants my opinion, I take a deep breath and speak up anyway.
Don’t show up to prove. Show up to improve.
What good is an idea if it remains an idea? Try. Experiment. Iterate. Fail. Try again. Change the world.
Do what you love and success will follow. Passion is the fuel behind a successful career.
The greatest thing about tomorrow is, I will be better than I am today.
Do things for people not because of who they are or what they do in return, but because of who you are.
The past doesn’t define you, your present does. It’s okay to create a vision of the future because it affects your behavior in the “now,” but don’t dwell on past mistakes. Learn from them and focus those lessons in the moment. That’s where change can really happen.
Fear only exists when you do not understand that you have the power to project thought and that the Universe will respond.
