"Communication is a skill that you can learn. It's like riding a bicycle or typing. If you're willing to work at it, you can rapidly improve the quality of very part of your life."

"Love only grows by sharing. You can only have more for yourself by giving it away to others."

"Your decision to be, have and do something out of ordinary entails facing difficulties that are out of the ordinary as well. Sometimes your greatest asset is simply your ability to stay with it longer than anyone else."

"If you wish to achieve worthwhile things in your personal and career life, you must become a worthwhile person in your own self-development."

"Successful people are always looking for opportunities to help others. Unsuccessful people are always asking, "What's in it for me?"

"The essence of a successful business is really quite simple. It is your ability to offer a product or service that people will pay for at a price sufficiently above your costs, ideally three or four or five times your cost, thereby giving you a profit that enables you to buy and to offer more products and services."

"Those people who develop the ability to continuously acquire new and better forms of knowledge that they can apply to their work and to their lives will be the movers and shakers in our society for the indefinite future."

"Today the greatest single source of wealth is between your ears."

"The more you seek security, the less of it you have. But the more you seek opportunity, the more likely it is that you will achieve the security that you desire."

"Never complain, never explain. Resist the temptation to defend yourself or make excuses."

"The ability to discipline yourself to delay gratification in the short term in order to enjoy greater rewards in the long term, is the indispensable prerequisite for success."

"All successful people men and women are big dreamers. They imagine what their future could be, ideal in every respect, and then they work every day toward their distant vision, that goal or purpose."

"Imagine no limitations; decide what's right and desirable before you decide what's possible."

"The ability to discipline yourself to delay gratification in the short term in order to enjoy greater rewards in the long term, is the indispensable prerequisite for success."

"Disciplining yourself to do what you know is right and importance, although difficult, is the highroad to pride, self-esteem, and personal satisfaction."

"The happiest people in the world are those who feel absolutely terrific about themselves, and this is the natural outgrowth of accepting total responsibility for every part of their life."

"Never complain, never explain. Resist the temptation to defend yourself or make excuses."

"Every minute you spend in planning saves 10 minutes in execution; this gives you a 1,000 percent Return on Energy!"

"If you envy successful people, you create a negative force field of attraction that repels you from ever doing the things that you need to do to be successful. If you admire successful people, you create a positive force field of attraction that draws you toward becoming more and more like the kinds of people that you want to be like."

"Every minute you spend in planning saves 10 minutes in execution; this gives you a 1,000 percent Return on Energy!"
