1. People who never take a chance, "never get ahead".
2. Great people are ordinary people with extraordinary amounts of determination.
3. If we hold on, we will win out.
4. I am stuck like a dope with a thing called hope.
5. Determination alone would give me the victory. I resolve never to surrender.
6. We cannot merely talk about strategies for success. We have to get down to hard-core principles that will work.
7. There is not necessarily a solution for every problem; however, every problem can be managed positively.
8. You can do anything you want to do. You can be anything you want to be. You can go anywhere from where you are - If you are willing to dream big and work hard.
9. It's all in how they perceive their problems.
10. The arriver often has greater problems than the striver.
11. When you can't solve the problem, manage it.
12. If you want to solve the problem, don't wait for somebody else to help you. Tackle it yourself. Understand that you alone are personally responsible for managing your problem. Don't expect anybody else to do it for you.
13. Nobody is defeated until he starts blaming somebody else.
14. Don't fix the blame;fix the problem.
15. Nobody has a money problem;it is always an idea problem.
16. The person who knocks at the door,telephones, dates and plays the field is the person who is going to get the job.
17. Doors will open to the enthusiastic person first.
18. Unexpected sources of help come from unpredictable quarters to the person who remains positive and enthusiastic and cheerful.
19. Avoid cynical people like a plague.
20. Leadership is the force that selects your dreams and sets your goals. It is the force that propels your endeavors to success.
21. The shoe doesn't tell the feet how big to grow. The body doesn't surrender leadership to the garment.
22. I had rather attempt something great and fail than attempt nothing and succeed.
23. Every loser who tries to do something great is really a winner.
24. Attitude is more important than facts. Your attitude needs to remain positive and in the control position. Never let yourself be defeated by the facts.
25. Management is control. It is the control of a resource in order to minimize waste and maximize the development of latent possibilities.
26. Never underestimate the value of an idea. Every positive idea has within it the potential for success if it is managed properly.
27. God can do tremendous things through the person who doesn't care who get the credit.
28. Decide today: Would you rather satisfy your ego or enjoy the fruit of success.
29. People who never change their minds are either perfect or stubborn. I'm not perfect and neither are you. I would rather change plans while still in port than to set sail and sink at sea.
30. A super successful person has very few resources, except the capacity to take an idea and marshal stronger and smarter people around him to pull it off.
31. Success is never certain, and failure is never final.
32. If you won't win if you don't begin.
33. Begin by believing that you possess latent gifts of creativity. You will respect, trust and admire your own thoughts. Every person can be creative.
34. Don't play it alone. Play it with problem-solving people. Play it with possibility thinking people. Play it with people who have a record of achievement and success. You can play it alone. But a lot of ideas might come from others.
35. We fail when we give up on our faith.
36. Greatness does not depend upon your position in life, but upon your respect of the positive ideas that flow into your imagination.
37. Common people are brilliant if only they believe in their own ideas. Most human beings have the same basic brain capacity. The major difference is the attitude that a person has toward his own ideas!
38. Decision making is easy if there are no contradictions in your value system.
39. Suddenly tough times become good times when our positive reaction becomes an inspiration to others.
40. There are far more possibilities than you think. Examine them.
41. Brownouts do not have to be burnouts.

43. It is impossible to be at the top of the needle without getting pricked.
44. It doesn't matter how young or how old you are - if you want your life to thrive you must have the courage to step into tomorrow.
45. Winning starts with beginning! and to begin, you must do something now.
46. Don't wait until you are ready, or you will never make the move!
47. Life today is nothing more than a collection of results of the choices you have made. Today's decisions are tomorrow's realities.
48. You and only you will design and shape your personality.
