Most people fail in life because they major in minor things.
-
You've got to bring the emotion, and you have to understand that you can't touch other people if you're not touched. You can't move other people if you're not moved. So if you're just giving some frickin talk you've memorized over and over again, you're going to have a flat affect. If you've just got a bunch of visuals on the screen that are leading your talk, hang up your shoes and get the hell out of there.
-
The difference between acting badly or brilliantly is not based on your ability, but on the state of your mind and/or body in any given moment.
-
If you want access to the files of valuable information in a computer, you must understand how to retrieve the data by asking for it with the proper commands. Likewise, what enables you to get anything you want from your own personal databanks is the commanding power of asking questions.
-
We're emotionally unfit. We expect things to be given to us that other generations had to earn. We think we're supposed to get homes with no money down and be supported by the government if we're unemployed.
-
All decision-making is a values-clarifying exercise.
-
If you develop the absolute sense of certainty that powerful beliefs provide, then you can get yourself to accomplish virtually anything, including those things that other people are certain are impossible.
-
You must find a more empowering source of comfort, connection, and control than food. Perhaps a creative outlet, helping others, becoming active in an organization, whatever.
-
In order to be happy, human beings must feel they are continuing to grow. Clearly, we must adopt the concept of continuous improvement as a daily principle.
-
Cultivate Curiosity. If you really want to grow in your lifetime, learn to be as inquisitive as a child. Curious people are never bored, and for them life becomes an unending study of joy.
-
Where the world is going and what technology is leading us to in terms of the evolution of humanity is an incredibly valuable thing to understand.
-
Determination and persistence are melded together. Their basis comes from people who stay hungry and don`t allow themselves to get too comfortable. Entering a comfort zone is the fastest way to kill your drive and determination, at which point you begin to accept whatever you have as being "good enough." There is no self-esteem in accepting the status quo. There are tremendous emotional and psychological rewards that come with pushing yourself to break through past limits and, in the process, creating something of value for yourself and others.
-
When it seems impossible like nothing is going to work, you are usually just a few millimeters away from making it happen.
-
The way to expand our lives is to model the lives of those people who are already succeeding.
-
People who succeed are those who know how to mobilize all their physical and mental resources on a goal.
-
If you don't make a conscious effort to control your focus-and decide in advance which things you're going to focus on-you'll be so pulled by the demands of the world that you will soon find yourself living in reaction rather than living a life plan you've designed for yourself.
-
A problem is a question you haven't yet answered to a level that has fulfilled you.
-
The difference between those who succeed and those who fail isn't what they have'it's what they choose to see and do with their resources and their expertise of life.
-
Success happens with a consistent increase in quality in your life
-
Success is not something you achieve, conquer, climb, or complete. Success is a process; it's a way of life.
-
Rapport is the ability to enter someone else's world, to make him feel that you understand him, that you have a strong common bond.
-
If you learn to condition yourself you can change anything you want in your life.
-
Achievers rarely, if ever, see a problem as permanent,while those who fail see even the smallest problems as permanent
-
To help other people, you've got to be able to help yourself. You go to a psychiatrist, and they're on this Prozac, Effexor, and antidepressants, you may have picked the wrong person. If you go to somebody who's broke who's selling you financial services, that might not be a good thing. You go to somebody who's fat to help you lose weight... And a lot of people ironically do these types of things.
