You can get everything in life you want if you will just help enough other people get what they want.
The three great essentials to achieve anything worthwhile are: Hard work, Stick-to-itiveness, and Common sense.
The opinion of the world does not affect me. I have placed as the real values in my life what follows when I am dead.
The only achievement I am really proud of is the friends I have made in this community.

You want to know the biggest illusion about success? That it’s like a pinnacle to be climbed, a thing to be possessed, or a static result to be achieved. If you want to succeed, if you want to achieve all your outcomes, you have to think of success as a process, a way of life, a habit of mind, a strategy for life.
What kind of person will I have to become in order to achieve all that I want?
To be yourself in a world that is constantly trying to make you something else is the greatest accomplishment.
To be successful you have to be selfish, or else you never achieve. And once you get to your highest level, then you have to be unselfish. Stay reachable. Stay in touch. Don’t isolate.
The need of man to wholly realize himself is the only fixed star.
The greatest human achievements have never been for profit.
