Don't wish it were easier, wish you were better.
The major reason for setting a goal is for what it makes of you to accomplish it. What it makes of you will always be the far greater value than what you get.
You don't get paid for the hour. You get paid for the value you bring to the hour.
Happiness is not something you postpone for the future; it is something you design for the present.
Success is neither magical nor mysterious. Success is the natural consequence of consistently applying the basic fundamentals.
Discipline is the bridge between goals and accomplishment.
If you don't design your own life plan, chances are you'll fall into someone else's plan. And guess what they have planned for you? Not much.
Success is doing ordinary things extraordinarily well.
You must take personal responsibility. You cannot change the circumstances, the seasons, or the wind, but you can change yourself. That is something you have charge of.
It is the set of the sails, not the direction of the wind that determines which way we will go.
Let others lead small lives, but not you. Let others argue over small things, but not you. Let others cry over small hurts, but not you. Let others leave their future in someone else's hands, but not you.
You cannot change your destination overnight, but you can change your direction overnight
Motivation is what gets you started. Habit is what keeps you going.
Failure is not a single, cataclysmic event. You don't fail overnight. Instead, failure is a few errors in judgement, repeated every day.
Either you run the day or the day runs you.
Effective communication is 20% what you know and 80% how you feel about what you know.
Get around people who have something of value to share with you. Their impact will continue to have a significant effect on your life long they have departed.
A good objective of leadership is to help those who are doing poorly to do well and to help those who are doing well to do even better.
Success is not to be pursued; it is to be attracted by the person you become
Take care of your body. It's the only place you have to live.
Success is steady progress toward one's personal goals
