Wearing a $1,000 suit and driving a Ferrari may be better than riding around in a beaten-uppickup truck, but when it’s all said and done, it’ll be the experiences you remember, not the stuff.

You’re going to spend your life doing something; you might as well pay the price to get what you want.

I used to love the saying, 'If you build a better mousetrap, the world will beat a path to your door.' It sounds great, right?The only problem is that, as it turns out, it’s not even remotely true.Worse yet, it encourages people to passively wait for someone else to give them a break. Most people who do that will grow old waiting for someone to come along and recognize their genius.

Rarely is success an accident, but when it is, rarely does it last.

If success were easy, everybody would do it. Because it’s not, you have the opportunity to distinguish yourself by solving problems. The more problems you solve, the more success you’ll have in life.Then, once you’re successful, you won’t have any more problems, right? Wrong. But if you’re lucky, you’ll have a better class of problems.
