The measure of who we are is what we do with what we have.

In addition to self-awareness, imagination and conscience, it is the fourth human endowment-independent will-that really makes effective self-management possible. It is the ability to make decisions and choices and to act in accordance with them. It is the ability to act rather than to be acted upon, to proactively carry out the program we have developed through the other three endowments. Empowerment comes from learning how to use this great endowment in the decisions we make every day.

Be open to new information and ideas.

Don’t become a wandering generality. Be a meaningful specific.

At the still-point in the center of the circle one can see the infinite in all things.

The more you prospect, the more you prosper.
