| |

| |
| |
| |
| Find and Fill a Niche--an Area That You Believe Is Missing in the Marketplace | |

| Once You Are Able to Love Yourself, Don't Hesitate to Let Others Know | |
| |
| |
| |
| Set Yourself Apart and Celebrate Your Individuality, Yet Include Humility | |

| |
| |
| Proactively and Creatively Persist, Day In and Day Out | |

| |
| |
| |
| Sit on the Other Side of the Desk First | |
| |
| |
| |
| Think Win-Win, Be Fair, Then Close the Deal | |
| |
| |
| |
| Avoid Vices and Unhealthy Temptations As They Suck the Life Out of Progress and Success | |

| |
| You Must Be Disciplined. Go to Bed Early and Get Up Early | |
| |
| |
| |
| Organization Is the Key to Success | |
| |
| |
| |
| Take Risks. They're the Difference between a $30,000 Fixer-Upper and a $30 Million Mansion Built on Speculation | |
| |
| |
| |
| Gently Yet Often Exercise Your Risk Threshold like a Muscle. Eventually It Will Become Stronger and Able to Withstand Greater Pressure | |
| |

| |
| |
| |
| Live in the Future instead of the Past--Use Imagination, Not Memory, When Making Decisions | |
| |
| |
| |
| Celebrate Each Humble Victory as a Triumphant Achievement--Build Confidence | |
| |
| |
| |
| Make a Difference: Live a Life That Matters | |
| |
| |
| |
| Many of Us Are Fortunate to Be Blessed with the Ability to Succeed--Not for Our Sole Benefit, but So We May Apply the Result of Our Success to Assist Others | |
| |
| |
| |
| You Cannot Brighten Another's Path without Lighting Your Own | |
| |
| |
| |
| Be Honest and Truthful with Others As Well As Yourself | |
| |
| |
| |
| When Your Conscience Speaks, You'd Better Listen | |
| |
| |
| |
| Truly Feel What Compassion Is | |
| |
| |
| |
| Give More Than You Receive | |
| |
