Innovation distinguishes between a leader and a follower.

Don’t be trapped by dogma-which is living with the results of other people’s thinking. Don’t let the noise of others’ opinions drown out your own inner voice. And most important, have the courage to follow your heart and intuition.

If you haven’t found it yet keep looking.

The people who are crazy enough to think they can change the world, are the ones who do.

You can’t connect the dots looking forward; you can only connect them looking backwards. So you have to trust that the dots will somehow connect in your future. You have to trust in something – your gut, destiny, life, karma, whatever. This approach has never let me down, and it has made all the difference in my life.

Remembering that you are going to die is the best way I know to avoid the trap of thinking you have something to lose. You are already naked. There is no reason not to follow your heart.

“Success in life is knowing the difference between ham and eggs; the chicken’s involved, the pig is committed.”

Time well spent results in more money to spend, more money to save, and more time to vacation.

Thinking expansively includes seeing what is possible and making it happen.

The harder I work, the luckier I get.

Be who you are and say what you feel, because those who mind don’t matter and those who matter don’t mind.

Life is about growing and evolving. I feel like my life has been in stages, and the stages I went through when I was younger allowed me to grow into the man I am today.

Be courageous! Have faith! Go forward.

Be happy with what you have while working for what you want.

Flow with whatever may happen and let your mind be free: Stay centered by accepting whatever you are doing. This is the ultimate.

My grandfather once told me that there were two kinds of people: those who do the work and those who take the credit. He told me to try to be in the first group; there was much less competition.

Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things that you didn’t do than by the ones you did do. So throw off the bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover.

Problems are often opportunities coming at us in packaging that isn’t what we expect or want.- Donald J. Trump

As we look ahead into the next century, leaders will be those who empower others.

Better an ‘oops’ than a ‘what if’.
