The best way to predict the future is to study the past, or prognosticate.
One of the main reasons people are not rich is that they worry too much about things that might never happen.
If you own a butcher shop, don't hire vegetarians. To hire the right people, you have to let the wrong people go.
Your most expensive advice is the free advice you receive from your financially struggling friends and relatives.
Average investors are on the outside trying to look into the inside of the company or property they are investing in.
The idea of working all your life, saving, and putting money into a retirement account is a very slow plan.
To gain more abundance a person needs more skills and needs to be more creative and cooperative.
Instead of labeling and discriminating against one or the other, we need to learn to blend our gifts and complement our geniuses.
By asking the question How can I afford it? your brain is put to work.
Failure inspires winners. And failure defeats losers. It is the biggest secret of winners. It's the secret that loser do not know. The greatest secret of winners is that failure inspires winning; thus, they're not afraid of losing.
I am concerned that too many people are focused too much on money and not on their greatest wealth, which is their education. If people are prepared to be flexible, keep an open mind and learn, they will grow richer and richer through the changes. If they think money will solve the problems, I am afraid those people will have a rough ride. Intelligence solves problems and produces money. Money without financial intelligence is money soon gone.
In today's fast-changing world, it's not so much what you know anymore that counts, because often what you know is old. It is how fast you learn. That skill is priceless.
The power of "can't": The word "can't" makes strong people weak, blinds people who can see, saddens happy people, turns brave people into cowards, robs a genius of their brilliance, causes rich people to think poorly, and limits the achievements of that great person living inside us all.
You become what you study.
