Success must never be measured by how much money you have.

When you are truly interested in other people, you will learn what they are interested in and if they have a need for your product. If they like you, and most people like folks who take an interest in them, they’ll help you find people who do need what you have to sell, even if they don’t.

I have always tried to avoid regrets. Could I have done differently some things in my career? Maybe.

Always think positively and expect the best.

People don’t care how much you know until they know how much you care.

A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step.
