Practice is the price of mastery. Whatever you practice over and over again becomes a new habit of thought and performance.
Successful people are always looking for opportunities to help others. Unsuccessful people are always asking, What's in it for me?
It doesn't matter where you came from, it doesn't matter how poor you are, it doesn't matter where your family was. It all doesn't matter. You can achieve anything if you have really clear goals and if you work really hard to learn what you need to learn.
The act of taking the first step is what separates the winners from the losers.
Luck is predictable; the harder you work, the luckier you get.
Take a deep breath, relax and imagine yourself exactly as you wish to be.
If you can just be yourself, then you have to be original because there's no one like you.

I think every single thing we do is political. Even if you go to the shops and buy a packet of biscuits, then you're buying into the system, willingly or not. I think we're conditioned into thinking political systems as being either communism or capitalism. I think there are a lot more options available. We just haven't explored them.
I believe that one of the most damning things about our culture is the adage to never talk religion and politics. Because we don't model this discourse at the dinner table and at Thanksgiving, we don't know how to do it well and we're not teaching our children about the world and about how to discuss it.
