“Success is not a random act. It arises out of a predictable and powerful set of circumstances and opportunities.”

“Nature designed with a random set of genes and circumstances in which we were born. To be happy, we have to accept it and make the most of nature’s design. Are you? Goals will help you do that. I must add, don’t just have career or academic goals. Set goals to give you a balanced, successful life. I use the word balanced before successful. Balanced means ensuring your health, relationships, mental peace are all in good order.”

“Success is not random.”

“Each problem has hidden in it an opportunity so powerful that it literally dwarfs the problem. The greatest success stories were created by people who recognized a problem & turned it into an opportunity.”

“You can never predict what little things in the way somebody looks or talks or acts will set off peculiar emotional reactions in other people.”

“The best books act like a powerful drug--they take you out of your own head into experiences, emotions and settings a million miles away.”
