Don't let life discourage you; everyone who got where he is had to begin where he was. Nothing is unrealistic if you believe you can do it.
A successful man is one who can lay a firm foundation with the bricks others have thrown at him.
If you take responsibility for yourself you will develop a hunger to accomplish your dreams.
I am going to live today in order to create the tomorrow I'm committed to!!
Discipline is the bridge between goals and accomplishment.
Defeat is not the worst of failures. Not to have tried is the true failure.
In essence, if we want to direct our lives, we must take control of our consistent actions. It's not what we do once in a while that shapes our lives, but what we do consistently.
Sometimes adversity is what you need to face in order to become successful
You cannot change your destination overnight, but you can change your direction overnight.
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
If you are not willing to risk the unusual, you will have to settle for the ordinary.
You were born to win, but to be a winner, you must plan to win, prepare to win, and expect to win.
