Your potential for growth is directly proportionate to the degree to which you are willing to make mistakes.

Your job as a young adult is to become as valuable to the marketplace as you can. Your job as a human is to do so without working a day in your life.

You have become more and therefore expect more, but never become too purpose-driven to step back and realize just how far you have progressed.

The major events in our lives receive the entire spotlight, but ultimately your life will be defined by the same handful of choices you make each day.

Just know that the achievement of anything grand takes consistent effort year after year. Motivation can uphold you intermittently, but it has too few calories to sustain a life.

I am acutely aware that all I have been able to achieve has been in large part due to circumstances outside my control. This is why I teach, and this is why I write. I want to be one of those opportunities for others. Perhaps this is the true measure of success.

As a human being, I know of no greater example of success than someone who is self-sustaining through using his passion in the service of others.

You are never as good as you think you are, and you are never as bad as you believe yourself to be.

A man has only so much life, and must diversify his efforts according to his values.
