Expect the best, plan for the worst, and prepare to be surprised

Life is inherently risky. There is only one big risk you should avoid at all costs, and that is the risk of doing nothing

The reason most people never reach their goals is that they don't define them, learn about them, or even seriously consider them as believable or achievable. Winners can tell you where they are going, what they plan to do along the way, and who will

Mistakes are painful when they happen, but years later a collection of mistakes is what is called experience

Failure should be our teacher, not our undertaker. Failure is delay, not defeat. It is a temporary detour, not a dead end. Failure is something we can avoid only by saying nothing, doing nothing, and being nothing.
