Obstacles are necessary for success because in selling, as in all careers of importance, victory comes only after many struggles and countless defeats.

Always seek out the seed of triumph in every adversity.

Realize that true happiness lies within you. Waste no time and effort searching for peace and contentment and joy in the world outside. Remember that there is no happiness in having or in getting, but only in giving. Reach out. Share. Smile. Hug. Happiness is a perfume you cannot pour on others without getting a few drops on yourself.

Take the attitude of a student, never be too big to ask questions, never know too much to learn something new.

Beginning today, treat everyone you meet as if they were going to be dead by midnight. Extend to them all the care, kindness and understanding you can muster, and do it with no thought of any reward. Your life will never be the same again.

I will love the light for it shows me the way, yet I will endure the darkness because it shows me the stars.

Failure will never overtake me if my determination to succeed is strong enough.

Always do your best. What you plant now, you will harvest later.

Treasure the love you receive above all. It will survive long after your good health has vanished.
