If you're proactive, you focus on preparing. If you're reactive, you end up focusing on repairing. - John C. Maxwell

Where success is concerned, people are not measured in inches, or pounds, or college degrees, or family background; they are measured by the size of their thinking.

You don’t really understand people until you hear their life story. If you know their stories, you grasp their history, their hurts, their hopes and aspirations. You put yourself in their shoes. And just by virtue of listening and remembering what’s important to them, you communicate that you care and desire to add value.

3) Don't wait for inspiration.
4) Be willing to sacrifice pleasure for opportunity.
