Jim Loehr & Tony Schwartz The Power of Full Engagement (2003)

Energy, not time, is the fundamental currency of high performance."
"The number of hours in a day is fixed, but the quantity and quality of energy available to us is not. It is our most precious resource. The more
we take responsibility for the energy we bring to the world, the more empowered and productive we become. The more we blame others or external circumstances, the more negative and compromised our energy is likely to be."
"Without time for recovery, our lives become a blur of doing unbalanced by much opportunity for being."

Roger Lowenstein Buffett: The Making of an American Capitalist (1995)

Buffett
"On Wall Street his homespun manner made him a cult figure. Where finance was so forbiddingly complex, Buffett could explain it like a general-store clerk discussing the weather."

"Buffett's genius was largely a genius of character—of patience, discipline and rationality. These were common enough virtues, but they
were rare in the heat of financial passions, and indispensable to anyone who would test his mettle in the stock market. In this sense, Buffett's character and career unfolded as a sort of public tutorial on investing and on American business. Buffett was aware of his role from the very beginning, and he nurtured a curious habit of chronicling his escapades even as he lived them."

Genuinely successful investment requires both courage and character.

Nelson Mandela Long Walk To Freedom (1994 )



I never thought that a life sentence truly meant life and that I would die behind bars. Perhaps I was denying this prospect because it was too unpleasant to contemplate. But I always knew that someday I would once again feel the grass under my feet and walk in the sunshine as a free man."

"I am fundamentally an optimist. Whether that comes from nature or nurture, I cannot say. Part of being optimistic is keeping one's head pointed towards the sun, one's feet moving forward. There were many dark moments when my faith in humanity was sorely tested, but I would not and could not give myself up to despair."

Orison Swett Marden Pushing To The Front (1894)

"The world does not demand that you be a lawyer, minister, doctor, farmer, scientist, or merchant; it does not dictate what you shall do, but it does require that you be a master in whatever you undertake."

"As the sculptor thinks only of the angel imprisoned in the marble block, so Nature cares only for the man or woman shut up in the human being... Nature will chip and pound us remorselessly to bring out our possibilities."

"The slow penny is surer than the quick dollar. The slow trotter will out-travel the fleet racer. Genius darts, flutters and tires; but perseverance wears and wins."

"Don't wait for extraordinary opportunities. Seize common occasions and make them great."

JW Marriott Jnr The Spirit To Serve (1997)

"If you're in the service business and your name is above the door, it's important for people to be able to link a face to the name. I want our associates to know that there really is a guy named Marriott who cares about them, even if he can only drop by every so often to personally tell them so."
"For the key to prospering and adapting in the coming decades amidst an ever-escalating rate of change is to first be clear about and resolutely
dedicated to what you stand for and why that should never change. You must then be just as resolutely willing to change absolutely everything else. This rare ability to manage continuity and change is the secret of Marriott's past—and the key to its future." Jim Collins, Foreword..

Hard work, continuous self-improvement, and a sense of building for the future create identity. From identity comes focus, from focus, success.

Margot Morrell & Stephanie Capparell Shackleton's Way (2001)

"It was suddenly clear they were going to face an extraordinary challenge just to stay alive. The men had expected to be working in relative comfort in a base camp, or to be doing ship's work. Instead,
they were stranded on a vast, unstable layer of ice that was their only refuge from the depths of the Weddell Sea or, even worse, the jaws of a killer whale or a sea-leopard. And it was –16˚ Fahrenheit."

Donald T Phillips Lincoln On Leadership (1992)

It was Abraham Lincoln who, during the most difficult period in the nation's history, almost single-handedly preserved the American concept of government. Had he not been the leader that he was, secession in 1860 could have led to further partitioning of the country into an infinite number of smaller, separate pieces, some retaining slavery, some not. He accomplished his task with a naturalness and intuitiveness in leading people that was at least a century ahead of his time."
"[We] here highly resolve that these dead shall not have died in vain—that this nation, under God, shall have a new birth of freedom—and that government of the people, by the people, for the people, shall not
perish from the earth."

Catherine Ponder The Dynamic Laws of Prosperity (1962)

Let us be done with thinking of poverty as a virtue. It is a common vice."
"There is basically one problem in life: congestion. There is basically one solution: circulation. Systematic giving is, therefore, a powerful practice that blesses every phase of our lives, as it keeps us attuned to the wealth of the universe."

Cheryl Richardson Take Time For Your Life (1998)


I've grappled with the same issues my clients are dealing with. I've worked ridiculous hours, built a successful business, made plenty of mistakes in relationships, and paid little attention to my health. Over the last several years, I've used the process in this book to improve my own life. I know it works."

Anthony Robbins Unlimited Power (1986)

"The movers and shakers of the world are often professional modelers—people who have mastered the art of learning everything they can by following other people's experience rather than their own."

"Often we are caught in a mental trap of seeing enormously successful people and thinking they are where they are because they have some special gift. Yet a closer look shows that the greatest gift that
extraordinarily successful people have over the average person is their ability to get themselves to take action."

David Schwartz The Magic of Thinking Big (1959 )

Believe Big. The size of your success is determined by the size of your belief. Think little goals and expect little achievements. Think big goals and win big success. Remember this, too! Big ideas and big plans are often easier—certainly no more difficult–—than small ideas and small plans."

Florence Scovell Shinn Secret Door to Success (1940)

"Your big opportunity and big success usually slide in, when you least expect it. You have to let go long enough for the great law of attraction to operate. You never saw a worried and anxious magnet. It stands up straight and hasn't a care in the world, because it knows needles can't help jumping to it. The things we rightly desire come to pass when we
have taken the clutch off."

Thomas J Stanley The Millionaire Mind (2000)

They live in lovely homes located in fine neighborhoods. Balance is their approach to life. They are financially independent, yet they enjoy

life—they are not 'all work, no play' type of people. Most became millionaires in one generation."

"Some millionaires do feel that their IQ was a factor in their successful achievements, although most others feel just the opposite."

Brian Tracy Maximum Achievement (1993)

"The way for you to be happy and successful, to get more of the things you really want in life, is to get the combinations to the locks. Instead
of spinning the dials of life hoping for a lucky break, as if you were playing a slot machine, you must instead study and emulate those who
have already done what you want to do and achieved the results you want to achieve."
"The primary cause of success in life is the ability to set and achieve goals. That's why the people who do not have goals are doomed forever to work for those who do. You either work to achieve your own goals or you work to achieve someone else's goals."

Sun Tzu The Art of War (4 th century BCE)

In general, the best method for using the military force is to conquer an entire country; to destroy the country is inferior. Ancient warriors who knew how to use the military well defeated the enemy's army, but not by battle. They overpowered the enemy's country, but not by force. The goal was to take things whole. In this way, soldiers were not killed and our lord gained the largest booty. Therefore, a general who wins all his battles by destroying other armies is not the ultimate warrior. The ultimate warrior is one who wins the war by forcing the enemy to surrender without fighting any battles."
