"If you are able to show goodness to yourself, your family, friends, and maybe to some in your community, you are doing better than most.

"Self - confidence is built from the inside out and has little or nothing to do with outside circumstances."
"Forgiveness is probably the most important self - esteem building process anyone can undertake.

"Goals and dreams are the entrepreneur's mental energy. However, the same goals and dreams that drive his behavior will also drive him to an early grave if he doesn't take care of his physical energy through a mix of exercise and relaxation. Energy manipulation is the ability to feed the mind with dreams and sustain the body so it will keep up with those dreams."
"Relaxation is, a state between waking and sleeping, where the body is completely still and the mind is allowed to flow freely from one thought to another, or alternately, a state in which the mind becomes inadvertently calm."

"Authors, such as William Zinsser, Steven Pinker, Natalie Goldberg, and Stephen King, who have all written exquisite books on the art and craft of writing, have reminded me that it is the commitment to the craft that matters the most; the longing to get better and the countless hours of work that go into writing and rewriting. To them I am eternally grateful."
"There is no such thing as lack of time, only unclear priorities and lack of motivation. It is better to abandon a project than to work on it half - heartedly for a protracted period of time."
