Brian Tracy "It doesn't matter where you are coming from. All that matters is where you are going." Brian Tracy "You cannot control what happens to you, but you can control your attitude toward what happens to you, and in that, you will be mastering change rather than allowing it to master you." Mark Twain "It is better to keep your mouth closed and let people think you are a fool than to open it and remove all doubt." Tony Robbins "Setting goals is the first step in turning the invisible into the visible." E. M. Forster "We must be willing to let go of the life we have planned, so as to have the life that is waiting for us." |
