DO THE NEXT THING |
Keeping a little ahead of conditions is one of the secrets of
business.
The time to repair your roof is when the sun is shining.
Try to do things before they need to be done.
Let your advance worrying become advance thinking and
planning.
Position yourself ahead of time in the best place for you.
You'll gain the advantage in any situation through one
medium: time
When you think ahead of any approaching action
you'll always have the advantage. You'll be the winner.
When you do what is necessary,
all the odds are in your favor.
EVERY WINNER HAS SCARS
Life is a classroom in which you're being tested, tried and
passed
You can't predict what will happen to you.
But, you can decide what happens inside you,
how you take it, and what you do with it.
The real test of living is how you take each experience
and make it a thing of worth and beauty.
Everything you go through has some value.
The highest qualities of success and character must be earned
FIND THE GOOD SIDE TO EVERY SITUATION |
You cannot have the success you seek without some
failures too.
Any experience can be transformed into something of
value.
Everything depends on the way you look at things.
What appear to be stumbling blocks and defeat before
you
can be stepping stones to victory if you remain
determined.
In all of your adversities lies the seeds of
equivalent advantages.
In every defeat there is a lesson showing you how to win
the next time.
View your problems as opportunities.
When it's dark enough you can see the stars.
|
VIEW EVERY PROBLEM AS AN OPPORTUNITY |
There is always a good side to every situation.
Stay optimistic and try to see an opportunity in your
problems,
not pessimistic and see problems in every opportunity.
The optimist sees the doughnut, the pessimist sees the
hole.
You can develop success from any failure.
Failure is one of the surest stepping stones to success.
No element can do as much for you as failure can,
if you're willing to study it and make capital out of
it.
When it is dark enough you can see the stars.

ALL GREAT ACHIEVEMENTS TAKE TIME |
Every big accomplishment is a series of little
accomplishments.
To achieve maximum success
you must accept that progress is made one step at a
time.
A building is built one brick at a time.
Football games are won one play at a time.
A business grows bigger one customer at a time.
You walk over the highest mountain one step at a time.
Success is the sum of small efforts repeated day in
and day out.
Nothing great is created suddenly,
any more than a bunch of grapes or an apple miraculously
appears.
If you want to grow an apple,
you must give it time.
There must be time for it to blossom,
bear fruit and then ripen.
That which grows fast, withers as rapidly.
That which grows slowly, endures. |

EVERYTHING IS POSSIBLE TO A WILLING HEART |
You can do anything in this world you want to do,
but you must want to do it badly enough.
You really can have everything you want, if you go after it.
You have to want it.
The first ingredient of success is desire.
Do you know what you want?
Your desire is the planting of your seed.
Your desire for success must be so strong within you
that it's the very breath of your life.
It must be your first thought when you wake in the morning,
and your last thought when you go to bed at night.
You can be whatever you make up your mind to be.
What's in your mind and heart is all that counts.
CONCENTRATION OPENS THE DOOR TO SUCCESSThe first law of success is concentration.
Bend all your energies to one point,
and go directly to that point,
looking neither to the right nor the left.
By focusing your efforts to a single point,
you'll always achieve the greatest results.
If you concentrate your efforts on a few major goals,
your efficiency will soar, your projects will be completed,
and you'll be going somewhere.
Focus totally on the business at hand
and command yourself to do exactly what you want to do.
If you focus the full power of all you are
on what you have a burning desire to achieve,
you'll attain success.

YOUR SUCCESS DEPENDS ON THE SUPPORT OF OTHERS |
You do not exist for yourself.
The only hurdle between you and what you want to be,
is the support of others.
Put yourself in another's place,
and you'll know why they think and do certain things.
You can succeed fastest by helping others to succeed.
Always think in terms of what the other person wants.
You'll get everything in life that you want
if you'll help enough other people get what they want.
Doing things for others always pays dividends.
You're not an isolated island.
You're a piece of the planet, a piece of the universe.
Personal relationships are the fertile soil from which all
advancement,
all success, all achievement in real life grows.
Help someone's boat across a river and you'll find
your own boat has reached the shore too.
GREAT EXPECTATIONS PRECEDE GREAT SUCCESS
High expectation always precedes high achievement.
You're as small as your controlling desires,
or as great as your dominant aspirations.
Once your mind stretches to a new idea
it never goes back to its original dimensions.
Think little goals and you can expect little achievement.
Think big goals and you'll win big success.
The first ingredient of your success is to dream a great
dream.
You must dream big and think big to be bi

SUCCESSFUL ACTION IS CUMULATIVE IN RESULTS |
Success is the sum of small efforts,
repeated day in and day out.
Many people take the first step and then stop.
Yet, with every additional step you take,
you enhance immensely the value of your first step.
All masters of success are chiefly distinguished
by their power of adding a second, a third,
and perhaps a fourth step in a continuous line.
There is no royal road to anything.
One thing at a time, all things in succession, is the rule of
life.
That which grows fast, withers as rapidly.
That which grows slowly, endures.
Do not despise the bottom rungs in your ascent to greatness.
PERSONAL GROWTH IS INEVITABLE
What happens to you is not as important
as how you react to what happens.
Everything you'll experience "good or bad" has value.
You experience personal growth on the road to success.
All growth means change and change involves risk.
You grow because you struggle, learn and overcome your
obstacles.
Difficulties in life are the things that show you what you
are.
Trouble is the common denominator of living.
It's the great equalizer of life.
Only when you are no longer afraid will you begin to live.

GOALS ARE ATTAINED ONE STEP AT A TIME |
There is no sudden leap to greatness.
Your success lies in doing, day by day.
Your upward reach comes from working well and carefully.
Good work done little by little becomes great work.
Your house of success will be built brick by brick.
A bottle fills drop by drop.
Adopt the pace of nature.
The secret is patience
OPPORTUNITY IS ALL AROUND YOU
The people that really succeed in the world
are the people who look for the circumstances they want, and,
if they can't find them, they make them.
The lure of the distant and the difficult is deceptive.
The great opportunity in your life is where you are right now.
Properly perceived, every situation becomes an opportunity for
you.
Your destiny is not a matter of chance,
it's a matter of the choices you make.
Being successful is not something you wait for,
but rather something you achieve with effort.
Things won't turn up in this world until you turn them up.
You develop your opportunities
by applying persistence to your possibilities.

DON'T MAKE YOUR THOUGHTS YOUR PRISONS |
You're more important than any of your problems.
What you have outside you counts less than what you have inside
you.
Courage gives you the power to face your difficulties.
It comes from the reserves of your mind
that are more powerful than your outside circumstances.
Your obstacles will look large or small to you
according to whether you are large or small.
Courage gives you the capacity to confront what can be
imagined.
It gives you the ability to rise above your present reality.
Courage is resistance to fear, mastery of fear,
not absence of fear.
When you recognize that you're bigger than your problems,
you'll gain the courage necessary to overcome anything.
EXPECT TO SUCCEED AND YOU'LL SUCCEED
The dreams you choose to believe in come to be.
When you feel in your innermost being
that you will achieve what you set out to do,
you open the way for miracles.
Choose to believe something good can happen.
Expecting it to happen energizes your goal
and actually gives it momentum.
What you expect to happen, happens.
Life responds to your outlook.

HONESTY IS THE BEST POLICY |
You always experience the consequences of your own actions.
If your actions are right, you'll get good consequences.
If not, you'll suffer for it.
There are always two choices, two paths to take.
One is easy. And your only reward is that it's easy.
You cannot do wrong without suffering wrong.
Morality may consist solely of the courage of making a
choice.
Wickedness is always easier than virtue,
for it takes a short cut to everything.
But over time you learn,
you can't make wrong work.
Work joyfully and peacefully,
knowing that right thoughts and right efforts
will inevitably bring about right results.
You can never lose anything that really belongs to you,
and you can't keep that which belongs to someone else.
Sooner or later, everyone sits down to a banquet of
consequences.
YOU CAN GO ANYWHERE WITH A GOAL
A life without purpose is like a ship without a rudder.
Goals are dreams that are written down.
The purpose of a goal is to focus your attention.
Your mind will reach toward achievement only when it has a goal.
There is no achievement without goals.
Establish a goal worth working for.
Your goal will keep you going in tough times.
Always have something ahead of you.
Continuously visualize your next step.
Keep moving after you achieve your goal and set another.
Momentum is maintained by always having something to look
forward to.
Constantly give yourself something to work for.
Do what you can do well,
and do well whatever you can do
and you'll achieve any goal that you set for yourself.
You can plant your dream with a goal.
