Take advantage of every opportunity to practice your communication skills so that when important occasions arise, you will have the gift, the style, the sharpness, the clarity, and the emotions to affect other people.

Effective communication is 20% what you know and 80% how you feel about what you know.

Discipline is the bridge between goals and accomplishment

Failure is simply a few errors in judgment, repeated every day.

Failure is not a single, cataclysmic event. You don't fail overnight. Instead, failure is a few errors in judgement, repeated every day.

Let others lead small lives, but not you.. Let others argue over small things, but not you.. Let others cry over small hurts, but not you.. Let others leave their future in someone else's hands, but not you.

Happiness is not something you postpone for the future it is something you design for the present.

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.

Either you run the day or the day runs you.

It isn__ what the book costs. It__ what it will cost you if you don__ read it.

If you really want to do something, you will find a way. If you don't, you'll find an excuse.

It doesn__ matter whether someone thinks I__short or tall, but it matters if I stand tall in my owneyes__ecause I know my disciplines, I know whatI__ doing, I know whether I__ doing it or not doing it.It doesn__ have to be published in some local paper,as long as I know that I__ paying the price and that Ideserve the applause and I deserve the prize. That__what__ exciting. That__ why this goal setting is soimportant. It challenges you to grow. It challengesyou to become more than you are, to move up to thenext level. And that__ key.

Don't wish it was easier, wish you were better. Don't wish for less problems, wish for more skills. Don't wish for less challenges, wish for more wisdom. The major value in life is not what you get. The major value in life is what you become. Success is not to be pursued; it is to be attracted by the person you become.

If you are not willing to risk the usual you will have to settle for the ordinary.

Learn how to be happy with what you have while you pursue all that you want. - Jim Rohn

I am a buyer of blank books. Kids find it interesting that I would buy a blank book. They say, "Twenty-Six dollars for a blank book! Why would you pay that?" The reason I pay twenty-six dollars is to challenge myself to find something worth twenty-six dollars to put in there. All my journals are private, but if you ever got hold of one of them, you wouldn't have to look very far to discover it is worth more than twenty-six dollars
