At 25, I was in the audience of my first professional speaker, Bob Bales. His presentation got my attention. I had never seen anyone having so much fun 'at work' and getting paid for it!

Your first encounter of the day has a more direct bearing on your attitude for that day than your next five encounters.

The first step in solving a problem is to recognize that it does exist.

You must first put something into your life before you can get something out of it.

First, say to yourself what you would be; then do what you have to do. Life is a grindstone. Whether it wears you down or polishes you up depends on what YOU are made of.
