You must accept responsibility for your actions, but not the credit for your achievements.

Winners take time to relish their work, knowing that scaling the mountain is what makes the view from the top so exhilarating.

Don't be a time manager, be a priority manager. Cut your major goals into bite-sized pieces. Each small priority or requirement on the way to ultimate goal become a mini goal in itself.

Success in life comes not from holding a good hand, but in playing a poor hand well.

Time is the most precious element of human existence. The successful person knows how to put energy into time and how to draw success from time.

Personal satisfaction is the most important ingredient of success.

Our limitations and success will be based, most often, on your own expectations for ourselves. What the mind dwells upon, the body acts upon.

Success is almost totally dependent upon drive and persistence. The extra energy required to make another effort or try another approach is the secret of winning.

A smile is the light in your window that tells others that there is a caring, sharing person inside.

Don't dwell on what went wrong. Instead, focus on what to do next. Spend your energies on moving forward toward finding the answer.

A life lived with integrity - even if it lacks the trappings of fame and fortune is a shining star in whose light others may follow in the years to come.

There are two primary choices in life: to accept conditions as they exist, or accept the responsibility for changing them.

It is not in the pursuit of happiness that we find fulfillment, it is in the happiness of pursuit.

Losers live in the past. Winners learn from the past and enjoy working in the present toward the future.

Learn from the past, set vivid, detailed goals for the future, and live in the only moment of time over which you have any control: now.

As long as we are persistence in our pursuit of our deepest destiny, we will continue to grow. We cannot choose the day or time when we will fully bloom. It happens in its own time.

A dream is your creative vision for your life in the future. You must break out of your current comfort zone and become comfortable with the unfamiliar and the unknown.

Time and health are two precious assets that we don't recognize and appreciate until they have been depleted.

To establish true self-esteem we must concentrate on our successes and forget about the failures and the negatives in our lives.

Failure should be our teacher, not our undertaker. Failure is delay, not defeat. It is a temporary detour, not a dead end. Failure is something we can avoid only by saying nothing, doing nothing, and being nothing.
