My friend Richard Carrion, the CEO of Puerto Rico__ top bank, once shared a line with me that I__l never forget: __obin, nothing fails like success._ Powerful thought. Your business is most vulnerable when it__ most successful. Success actually breeds complacency, inefficiency and _ worst of all _ arrogance. Whenever I share this point with a roomful of CEOs, every one of them nods their head at this one. Please let me give you a real-world example from my own life.

I__e learned that everything happens for a reason,_ the yogi Krishnan told him. __very event has a why and all adversity teaches us a lesson... Never regret your past. Accept it as the teacher that it is.

If you focus on good, you will excel and reach higher planes. if you dwell on the negative aspects of life, you will get nowhere fast.

Words can inspire and words can destroy. Choose your words well.

Be one of those rare people who just don't know how to quit.

The more you recover your authentic self, the more your destiny will unfold before your eyes. Just keep doing your inner work - that's the most essential thing.

Big IdeaYour days are your life in miniature. As you live your hours, so you create your years. As you live your days, so you craft your life. What you do today is actually creating your future. The words you speak, the thoughts you think, the food you eat and the actions you take are defining your destiny _ shaping who you are becoming and what your life will stand for. Small choices lead to giant consequences over time. There__ no such thing as an unimportant day.

you don't need to have the biggest title to do the best job.

Shake up your life a bit. Get rid of the cobwebs. Take the road less traveled. Most people live within the confines of their comfort zone. Yogi Raman was the first person to explain to me that the best thing you can do for yourself is regularly move beyond it.

Daily ripples of excellence -over time- become a tsunami of success

Everything is created twice, first in the mind and then in reality.

Victim fall in love with excuses

Change is hardest at the beginning, messiest in the middle and best at the end.

The beautiful thing about fear is when you run to it, it runs away

If your life is worth thinking about,it is worth writing about.

Sometimes success isn't about making the right decision, it's more about making some decision.

the purpose of life is the life of purpose

What the society thinks is of no interest to me. All that's important is how I see myself. I know who who I am. I know the value of my work.
