Don't look for the next opportunity. The one you have in hand is the opportunity.

Nearly all rich an powerful people are not notably talented, educated, charming or good-looking. They become rich and powerful by wanting to be rich and powerful.

Don't be afraid of silly ideas.

High creativity is responding to situations without critical thought.' - John Cleese

Have you noticed how the cleverest people at school are not those who make it in life?People who are conventionally clever get jobs on their qualifications (the past), not on their desire to succeed (the future).Very simply, they get overtaken by those who continually strive to be better than they are.

It's not how good you are, it's how good you want to be.

If you think you're unable to be on the cover of Time magazine, make your business to be there.

If you always make the right decision, the safe decision, the one most people make, you will be the same as everyone else.

The world is what YOU think of it, so think of it DIFFERENTLY and your life will change.

Getting what you want means making the decisions you need to make to get what you want.Not the decisions those around you think you should make.Making the safe decision is full, predictable and elads nowhere new.The unsafe decision causess you to think and respond in a way you hadn't thought of.And that thought will lead to other thoughts which will help you achieve what you want.Start taking bad decisions and it will take you to a plce where others only dream of being.

Do not seek praise. Seek criticism.

If you always make the right decision, the safe decision,the one most people make, you will be the same as everyone else.

Talent helps, but it won't take you as far as ambition.
