Successful people take big risks knowing that they might fall hard. But, they might succeed more than they ever dreamed, too.
Fail is a verb not a noun, most people think that when they fail, they become a noun and call themselves failures. People have to learn from their mistakes just as children learn to ride bicycles by falling off bicycles. Mistakes can be priceless if we are willing to learn from them because the price to becoming rich is the willingness to make mistakes and learn from them without blaming or justifying
By pursuing the things you love, all the other things in life will fall into order.
This rise of the new global mega-rich is happening as established institutions are falling. The fall runs the gamut from the music business and traditional media to the Detroit automakers who find themselves obsolete, outmaneuvered, and out-priced by entrepreneurs in Silicon Valley, Mumbai, Shanghai, and even Siberia.
In school we learn that mistakes are bad, and we are punished for making them. Yet, if you look at the way humans are designed to learn, we learn by making mistakes. We learn to walk by falling down. If we never fell down, we would never walk.
In my experience, many people confuse being cowardly with being nice.
Tax season always means a deluge of tax advice. Unfortunately, most of it is futile and lightweight.
'Socialize' means we turn more of our personal powers over to Big Brother, not free enterprise.

At my lowest point, I was nearly $700,000 in debt.
At the height of the Enron mania, the company's market value was $65 billion. Once the dust cleared, the final value was $0.
I know how to make money. That's what I know. Not too many people know that, that well.
As one of my teachers, Buckminster Fuller, says, we were given a right foot and a left foot, not a right foot and a wrong foot. The point is that, there's always two points of view out there, and we need to increase our ability to allow another point of view. Then we have a better chance for peace.
I don't know why I am internally a violent person. I don't have the normal nerve endings most people do, which was very good for me as a pilot in Viet Nam. When most people are afraid, I'm actually quite excited about things. The more dangerous something is, the happier I am.
