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.

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.

Success equals goals; all else is commentary.

The more credit you give away, the more will come back to you. The more you help others, the more they will want to help you.

You cannot control what happens to you, but you can control your attitude toward what happens to you, and in that, you will be mastering change rather than allowing it to master you.

Whatever you believe with feeling becomes your reality.

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

It doesn’t matter where you are coming from. All that matters is where you are going.

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.

The way you give your name to others is a measure of how much you like and respect yourself.

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

Optimism is the one quality more associated with success and happiness than any other.

Always choose the future over the past. What do we do now?

A clear vision, backed by definite plans, gives you a tremendous feeling confidence and personal power.

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.

The only real limitation on your abilities is the level of your desires. If you want it badly enough, there are no limits on what you can achieve.

Your biggest opportunity probably lies under your own feet, in your current job, industry, education, experience or interests.

No one lives long enough to learn everything they need to learn starting from scratch. To be successful, we absolutely, positively have to find people who have already paid the price to learn the things that we need to learn to achieve our goals.

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

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.

The act of taking the first step is what separates the winners from the losers.

Everything you do is triggered by an emotion of either desire or fear.

Develop the winning edge; small differences in your performance can lead to large differences in your results.

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

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

Develop an attitude of gratitude, and give thanks for everything that happens to you, knowing that every step forward is a step toward achieving something bigger and better than your current situation.

Look for the good in every person and every situation. You’ll almost always find it.

Just as your car runs more smoothly and requires less energy to go faster and farther when the wheels are in perfect alignment, you perform better when your thoughts, feelings, emotions, goals, and values are in balance.

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.

I’ve found that luck is quite predictable. If you want more luck, take more chances. Be more active. Show up more often.

“Successful people are always looking for opportunities to help others.
Unsuccessful people are always asking, ‘What’s in it for me?’”

“Focus and concentration are the keys to high performance.”

“Deploy yourself for maximum Return on Energy. Focus on your strengths.”

“Make your financial independence a primary goal in life and begin working toward it today.”

“Concentrate on one thing, the most important thing, and stay with it until it’s complete.”

“Love is by far the most important thing of all.”

“Resolve to pay any price or make any sacrifice to get into the top 10 percent in your field . The payoff is incredible!”

“You have within you right now, everything you
need to deal with whatever the world can throw at
you.”

“Obstacles are what you see when you take your eyes
off your goals.”

“Your abilty to solve problems effectively determines
how high you rise on your career.”

“Dedicate yourself to continuous personal improvement
—you are your most precious resource.”

Do as much research on the client as you can prior to
your first meeting. This is very impressive.”

Confidence is a habit that can be developed by acting as if you already had
the confidence you desire to have.

Issue a blanket pardon. Forgive everyone who has ever hurt you in any way.
Forgiveness is a perfectly selfish act. It sets you free from the past
