You don't have to be a genius or a visionary or even a college graduate to be successful. You just need a framework and a dream.
Don't spend so much time trying to choose the perfect opportunity, that you miss the right opportunity.
Don’t be afraid to fail. Get out there and experiment and learn and fail and get a rate based on the experiences you have. Go for it and when you go for it you’ll learn what you’re capable of, what the potential is, where the opportunities are, but you can’t be afraid to fail because that’s when you learn.
If you want to sustain excellence over a long time, you'd better come up with a system that works well. Anyone can sprint for a little while, but you can't sprint for forty years.
