The less you react, the more stable you become.

Most people are nice to you only when you are influential or when they need you.

Once the need or influence changes, so does their behavior.

The more attention you shine on a subject, the more evidence of it you find.

This is how downward spiral talk escalates into a reality.

You have to put in the hours.

Skill, natural talent, etc. matters less and less as you work more and more hours.

In the long run, the people who work hardest, and longest win.

The first thing that any education ought to give a man is character, and the second thing is education.

All winners are trackers.

You cannot improve something until you measure it.

To move in one direction, you must forgo all others.

If you desire to do great things, then remember that you must give things your full attention — not just a mild effort — and leave many other things alone for the time being.

What else?

To be psychologically balanced and centered depends heavily on being physically balanced and centered.

Surround yourself with people who seek excellence regardless of what they do.

You can’t do the same things others do and expect to outperform.

What you repeatedly say to yourself — and how you repeatedly describe yourself — is what you come to believe and be.

Just because you made a mistake or fell short of your expectations in the past, it doesn’t mean that you’re doomed to fail the next time around.

The greatest part of entrepreneurship is breaking down your limiting beliefs.

It has very less to do with money.

Never regret anything

For there’s a lesson in everything.

Set some goals. Stay quiet about them. Smash them.

Emotional control is POSSIBLE.

It's even necessary.

The least control you have over your emotions, the more they will be used against you.

It does not mean that you stop feeling, it doesn't mean that you become numb and detached from everything.

It simply means that you chose what affects you and what doesn't.

Most of the time, things that bring us negative emotions fall into one of two categories:

- It's either not worth it and irrelevant in the long run.

OR

- It's uncontrollable and cannot be changed; aka out of your control.

If it's the first, you only need a conscious decision to stop worrying about it.

If it's the second then what choice do you really have?

Learn two things: TO MOVE ON & TO JUST ACCEPT WHAT CANT BE CHANGED.

Move on from the former, accept the latter.

Eventually it simply comes down to your ability to consciously rationalize your emotions and decide whether the emotion you're feeling is of positive impact on your life or not.

If positive emotions are to be felt and enjoyed.

Negative emotions on the other hand are to be transmuted for the greater good.

Your own greater good.
