Self-pity is an acid which eats holes in happiness.
Most very successful people can remember that their success was discovered and built out of adversity of some kind. It's not the problems that beset us-problems are surprisingly pretty much the same for millions of others-it's how we react to problems that determines not only our degree of growth and maturity but our future success-and, perhaps, much of our health.
With every adversity, there is an equal or greater gift. Keep looking for the gift.
People are where they are because that is exactly where they really want to be - whether they will admit that or not.
You'll find boredom where there is an absence of a good idea.
Learn to enjoy every minute of your life. Be happy now. Dont wait for something outside of yourself to make you happy in the future. Think how really precious is the time you have to spend, whether its at work or with your family.
We must be the epitome-the embodiment-of success. We must radiate success before it will come to us. We must first become mentally, from an attitude standpoint, the people we wish to become.
People can and do change.

On Christmas morning, our joy or our happiness can be at a very high level, not because of our anticipation of what we might receive but, rather, in anticipation of watching our loved ones open our gifts to them. In fact, if we're not careful, we can fail to register sufficient excitement and joy upon opening the gifts we receive from others. We must remember that they are happiest at that time and to give them top billing, to stretch their happiness to its full length.
Even if our home burns down we can rebuild it. But the things that we got for nothing, we can never replace.
Every-time we use a product or service, someone is serving us.
To become successful and outstanding at something, we don't have to come up with something new; we need only find ways of doing it better.
