“You must learn from your past mistakes, but not lean on your past successes.”

“Learn from the past, set vivid, detailed goals for the future, and live in the only moment of time over which you have any control: now.”

“Everything that is past is either a learning experience to grow on, a beautiful memory to reflect on, or a motivating factor to act upon.”

“Get excited and enthusiastic about your own dream. This excitement is like a forest fire – you can smell it, taste it, and see it from a mile away.”

“Mistakes are painful when they happen, but years later a collection of mistakes is what is called experience.”

“Time is an equal opportunity employer. Each human being has exactly the same number of hours and minutes every day. Rich people can't buy more hours. Scientists can't invent new minutes. And you can't save time to spend it on another day. Even so, time is amazingly fair and forgiving. No matter how much time you've wasted in the past, you still have an entire tomorrow.”

“Chase your passion, not your pension.”
