“Criticism is just someone else’s opinion. Even people who are experts in their fields are sometimes wrong. It is up to you to choose whether to believe some of it, none of it, or all of it. What you think is what counts.”

“Cultivate an optimistic mind, use your imagination, always consider alternatives, and dare to believe that you can make possible what others think is impossible.”

“Every day, you get the opportunity to change your life. Change what you do not want. Change what makes you unhappy.”

“For some people, their fear to lose is greater than their desire to succeed, so they end up doing nothing and their dreams become impossible.”

“When you experience a negative circumstance or event, do not dwell on it. Be proactive — put your attention on what you need to do to bring the situation to a positive result.”

“It may take little time to get where you want to be, but if you pause and think for a moment, you will notice that you are no longer where you were. Do not stop—keep going.”

“Take responsibility for your own happiness, do not expect people or things to bring you happiness, or you could be disappointed.”
