Turn lemons into lemonade. Successful business people learn that their success is tied to their ability to solve problems for people. McDonald’s solves the problem of needing to eat in a hurry. A 5-star restaurant solves the problem of wanting to eat in an upscale atmosphere. Insurance companies solve the problem of quickly recovering from…
The only failure is the failure to try. When Thomas Edison was trying to get an electric light bulb to work, a reporter once asked him, “Why do you continue to waste time in this endeavor after failing 10,000 times?” Edison’s reply demonstrates a key trait in all successful people. He said, “Sir, I have…
I’m trying something new here. The talk is called “An Opportunity to Upgrade” and is probably best described as an inspirational message, with some “how to” as well.

I used to worry a lot. The more I worried, the worse everything got. Finally, I realized what I was doing to myself, and decided to try something different. I resolved to focus only on positive things for a week. Just 7 days. Nothing can go too far wrong in just 7 days. What happened…

People generally take you at face value. If you present yourself as a confident person, most people will assume that you know what you’re doing, and will follow your lead. Countless experiments have been done on this, and the result is always the same. Many successful people started out by practicing in front of a…
Things are rarely as bad as you think they are. We humans have a tendency to imagine the worst in many situations. And yet, the things we often fear rarely come to pass. In the words of Michel de Montaigne, “My life has been full of terrible misfortunes — most of which never happened.” Mark…

The past does not determine the future. Every moment of every day is a fresh opportunity to start anew. The past has merely brought you to this moment now. Where you go from here is completely up to you. Choose happiness. Choose success. Choose greatness.
You are the only one in control over your destiny. The world around you is a reflection of your inner self. To change the world around you, you start by changing the essence of who you are. The essence of who you are NOW was formed through years of subtle suggestion from parents, teachers, and…
You have a purpose in life. You fulfill a vital function in the world, a special purpose that you are uniquely suited to accomplish. If that weren’t true, you simply wouldn’t be here. The more you accept this, the more you will see that you have inherited a destiny of greatness, and the plans for…
You have every right to be happy. Never let anyone pressure you into doing something, or make you feel guilty because you choose not to live according to their rules. If you want to be respected as an individual, you need to stand up for yourself and live life on your own terms. When someone…
Your worth as a person does not depend on what you have, what you have done, nor on what you can do. You are valuable simply because you exist. The reasons why gold, platinum, and gemstones are valuable are because they are rare, and because they have qualities we all admire. You are far more…
