1. Vision
“If you can dream it, you can achieve it.”

2. Dealing with Failure
“Remember that failure is an event, not a person.”

3. You Get What You Are
“If you go looking for a friend, you’re going to find they’re very scarce. If you go out to be a friend, you’ll find them everywhere.”

4. Daily Affirmation
“People often say motivation doesn’t last. Neither does bathing – that’s why we recommend it daily.”

5. Mind Before Body

6. What Really Matters
“Lack of direction, not lack of time, is the problem. We all have twenty-four hour days.”

7. Delayed Gratification
“The chief cause of failure and unhappiness is trading what you want most for what you want right now.”

8. Be Positive
“There has never been a statue erected to honor a critic.”

9. Hard Work
