“How can you develop a self-concept linked to your untapped potential? First, you can decide on the kind of life you would like to lead in ten or fifteen years.

Learn to ask, "How would I handle this situation were I the person I hope to become?" And then take action in line with your vision.”

It sets a high, seemingly impossible, expectation for performance and human behavior.”

“I never want to retire until the day I drop dead. I want to work and work and work because work, I don't do for money, I do for love. And I love to work.”
