Ready? No one is ever ready, my boy. But some do what they plan to do and some never will. The difference between the two is that the first group understand that they need to start somewhere, so they do so. Straight away

Falling has become far more terrifying to me than rising.

Don't allow your imagination to colour events as lesser men would, and see movement in motionless things.

But without a need, even the finest piece of beef is merely a piece of dead bull is it not?

Trust me. In a very short time, you will become sought out by those in your network. Initially for your sound advice, but soon after as a provider of service. Few people seek advice about a subject that doesn__ require a solution.

Unwittingly, I have sailed through my entire life, so far, with neither direction nor destination.I had a vague instinct to reach dry land every once in a while for supplies, but never anything more than that.

You _ help - people. You are an expert in your field, who genuinely helps other human beings. Take pride in that, stop hawking your wares, and get a bit of respect for your profession, and earn some from your prospects.

We must design how we wish to be perceived, and then we must work even harder to continuously recreate and re-evaluate that perception.

That__ what marks out the successful from the nearly-rans. Focusing on what makes people itch rather than continuously presenting an entire catalogue of scratches.

If you have designed your last day on earth, if you have decided how you wish to be thought of on your deathbed, only then can you start to plot a course to that point, to your ideal final destination.

Young man, your problem and the reason so many like you fail, is simply because you allow yourself to give up far too early.

And so it must be with the energy you muster for your own work. Get out there and convert the unconverted. Save them all from the charlatans and the nearly-men.

I now know that success can not choose me. It is waiting on a path that I must walk. In truth, it waits there for everyone.Many do not know where the path begins. Some search for a shortcut to the end. But the majority of the world does not even realise there is a path there at all.I have been shown the start of that path and I am ready.

Currently, you are approaching each opportunity with a single possible outcome and when that doesn't happen you fool yourself that there was nothing more that you could have done.

It__ not how I view being a salesman. It__ how I live being a salesman.

If you wish to sell to anyone you must earn the right to do so.

It__ your own personal statement of who you want to become, based on how you wish to be remembered.

No, I__ afraid your overconfidence, as with most young men who dream of becoming successful, can quite quickly become the Achilles_ heel of your continued mediocrity
