“The
way to wealth is as plain as the way to market. It depends chiefly on two
words, industry and frugality: that is, waste neither time nor money, but make
the best use of both. Without industry and frugality nothing will do, and with
them everything.”

Benjamin Franklin

goals are important, having a plan of action is vital to the success of those
goals. Having a goal with no plan of action is like wanting to travel to a new
destination without having a map.”

“In
theory, the risk of business failure can be reduced to a number, the
probability of failure multiplied by the cost of failure. Sure, this turns out
to be a subjective analysis, but in the process your own attitudes toward
financial risk and reward are revealed.
By
contrast, personal risk usually defies quantification. It's a matter of values
and priorities, an expression of who you are. "Playing it safe" may
simply mean you do not weigh heavily the compromises inherent in the status
quo. The financial rewards of the moment may fully compensate you for the loss
of time and fulfillment. Or maybe you just don't think about it. On the other
hand, if time and satisfaction are precious, truly priceless, you will find the
cost of business failure, so long as it does not put in peril the well-being of
you or your family, pales in comparison with the personal risks of no trying to
live the life you want today.
Considering
personal risk forces us to define personal success. We may well discover that
the business failure we avoid and the business success we strive for do not
lead us to personal success at all. Most of us have inherited notions of
"success" from someone else or have arrived at these notions by
facing a seemingly endless line of hurdles extending from grade school through
college and into our careers. We constantly judge ourselves against criteria
that others have set and rank ourselves against others in their game. Personal
goals, on the other hand, leave us on our own, without this habit of useless
measurement and comparison.
Only
the Whole Life Plan leads to personal success. It has the greatest chance of
providing satisfaction and contentment that one can take to the grave,
tomorrow. In the Deferred Life Plan there will always be another prize to
covet, another distraction, a new hunger to sate. You will forever come up
short.”

“Too
much action with too little intent makes for wasteful exertion of energy and
the confusion between movement and progress.”

“I
believe that anyone can be successful in life, regardless of natural talent or
the environment within which we live. This is not based on measuring success by
human competitiveness for wealth, possessions, influence, and fame, but
adhering to God's standards of truth, justice, humility, service, compassion,
forgiveness, and love.”

“It's
not always that we need to do more but rather that we need to focus on less.”

“Whenever
you should doubt your self-worth, remember the lotus flower.
Even
though it plunges to life from beneath the mud, it does not allow the dirt that
surrounds it to affect its growth or beauty. Be that lotus flower always. Do
not allow any negativity or ugliness in your surroundings destroy your
confidence, affect your growth, or make you question your self-worth.”

“Success
can be defined in many ways but failure in only one ... quitting!”

is the universal language of success.”
