 “Nobody can be successful unless he loves his work.”
 Passion makes it possible for people who might seem ordinary to
achieve great things.
 Your desire determines your destiny. Any one who lives beyond an
ordinary life has great desire.
 There is no substitute for passion. It is fuel for the will. If you want
anything badly enough, you can find the willpower to achieve it.
 If you follow your passion, instead of others’ perceptions, you can’t help
becoming a more dedicated, productive person. And that increases your
ability to impact others. In the end, your passion will have more
influence than your personality.
 “A leader with great passion and few skills always outperforms a leader
with great skills and no passion.”
 You can never lead something you don’t care passionately about. You
can’t start a fire in your organization unless one is first burning in you.
Positive Attitude: “A successful man is one who can lay a firm foundation
with the bricks others have thrown at him.”
If You Believe You Can, You Can
Your Attitude Is a Choice
Your Attitude Determines Your Actions
Your People Are a Mirror of Your Attitude
Maintaining a Good Attitude Is Easier Than Regaining One
 Many of life’s failures are people who did not realize how close they
were to success when they gave up.
 If you look at the lives of people in any profession who achieve lasting
success, you will find that they almost always possess a positive outlook
on life.
 “The last of our human freedoms is to choose our attitude in any given
circumstance.”
 The Law of Magnetism really is true: who you are is who you attract.
 If the only thing we leave our kids is the quality of enthusiasm, we will
have given them an estate of incalculable value.
 “Genius is 99% perspiration and 1% inspiration.” – Thomas Edison
