Failure is not a single, cataclysmic event. You don't fail overnight. Instead,
failure is a few errors in judgment, repeated every day.
Motivation alone is not enough. If you have an idiot and you motivate him,
now you have a motivated idiot.
Success is 20% skills and 80% strategy. You might know how to read, but
more importantly, what's your plan to read?
The best motivation is self-motivation. The guy says, "I wish someone would
come by and turn me on." What if they don't show up? You've got to have a
better plan for your life.
Asking is the beginning of receiving. Make sure you don't go to the ocean with
a teaspoon. At least take a bucket so the kids won't laugh at you.
Formal education will make you a living; self-education will make you a
fortune.
You must constantly ask yourself these questions: Who am I around? What are
they doing to me? What have they got me reading? What have they got me
saying? Where do they have me going? What do they have me thinking? And
most important, what do they have me becoming? Then ask yourself the big
question: Is that okay? Your life does not get better by chance, it gets better by
change.
To solve any problem, here are three questions to ask yourself: First, what
could I do? Second, what could I read? And third, who could I ask?
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.
