“True peace can be experienced only when we stop giving and taking sorrow. In order not to give sorrow we need a clear heart that has no ill feelings and for not taking sorrow we need a big heart that can tolerate and help other souls to get over their weaknesses.”

“There is only one person who is in charge of your career progression, and that person is you. Lee Iacocca is said to have written his entire career plan on the back of a business card. On it were the promotions he expected to earn and the dates he expected to receive them until he was named CEO of the company. Successful people know that they must create their own opportunities and be ready for them when they arrive. Some organizations have clearly defined career paths while others are more informal in their approach, but if you study the senior people in the company, you can quickly identify the kind of education and experience you need to advance. If you are with the right company, one that excites and enthuses you, identify the career moves you’d like to make and get to work making yourself qualified for the job you want.”

“If you were walking down the street, and you fell down, would you just lie there? Or would you get up? You’d get up. The same way with everything else. No matter how many times you make a mistake, you get up and do it one more time. You don’t have to worry about one thousand times, just the next time.”
— John-Roger
“The only way to make sense out of change is to plunge into it, move with it, and join the dance.”

“Your body is a magnificent, complex, and sophisticated organism. It is a gift to you, and you will do well to never ignore it or take it for granted. The better you care for your body, the better it will serve you throughout your life.”
— William DeFoore
“Abraham Lincoln once observed, “You may fool all the people some of the time; you can even fool some of the people all the time; but you can’t fool all of the people all the time.” Regardless of how cleverly you package yourself, others will eventually see through your masquerade and recognize you for what you really are. As a general rule, people will accept you for what you say you are until you prove yourself to be otherwise. Don’t take advantage of the goodwill of others. Make friends, not enemies.”
— Napoleon Hill
