Infuse your life with action. Don't wait for it to happen. Make it happen. Make your own future. Make your own hope. Make your own love.

Typically, if you reward something, you get more of it. You punish something, you get less of it. And our businesses have been built for the last 150 years very much on that kind of motivational scheme.
There is always room at the top.
I really believe that everyone has a talent, ability, or skill that he can mine to support himself and to succeed in life.
