“Use statistics as input not output. Use them to make up your mind on an issue.Don't make up your mind and then go looking for the number to support yourself.”

“Everything starts with yourself – with you making up your mind about what you're going to do with your life”

“If you make your heart into a weapon, you end up using it on yourself.”

“Surround yourself with the kinds of input that are uplifting, that expand your mind and settle your spirit.”

“Emotions are what make us human. Make us real. The word 'emotion' stands for energy in motion. Be truthful about your emotions, and use your mind and emotions in your favor, not against yourself.”

“In the same way that I tend to make up my mind about people within thirty seconds of meeting them, I also make up my mind about whether a business proposal excites me within about thirty seconds of looking at it. I rely far more on gut instinct than researching huge amounts of statistics.”
