You beat 50 percent of the people in America by working hard. You beat 40 percent by being a person of honesty and integrity and standing for something. The last 10 percent is a dogfight in the free enterprise system.
Most people can stay excited for two or three months. A few people can stay excited for two or three years. But a winner will stay excited for twenty or thirty years. . . or as long as it takes to win.
It's not how much you make, it's how much you save.
All you can do is all you can do, but all you can do is enough.
Think of everybody you talk to as having a flashing sign on their chest saying: Make me feel special!

If you want to win, you've got to change.
To win you must pay the price. If you haven't won you haven't paid the price.

A total commitment gives you the extra ounce of courage that it takes to win.
The number one problem that keeps people from winning in the United States today is lack of belief in themselves.
You can give in to the failure messages and be a bitter deadbeat of excuses. Or you can choose to be happy and positive and excited about life.
Almost is almost a way of life for almost everybody
