Champions are not born, they are made, self-made. They are self-made and they share a common trait; they all want to win more than anybody else… there lays their main secret. Winning and desire are two words that go together; you can’t have one without the other. They are like Siamese twin, inseparable.
Napoleon Hill [...]

“Your time is limited, so don’t waste it living someone else’s life. Don’t be trapped by dogma – which is living with the results of other people’s thinking. Don’t let the noise of other’s opinions drown out your own inner voice. And most important, have the courage to follow your heart and intuition.” – Steve [...]

You can’t learn how to swim if you don’t get in the pool and you can’t learn and grow sitting in front of the TV. Life is about venturing out and meeting new challenges and not about hiding our head in the sand in a futile effort to ward off possible dangers or deceptions. [...]

There’s a proverb that says, “What you don’t know cannot hurt you.” That proverb should not be taken literally. In most cases, ignorance is not an asset. The more that we know, the more effective and prepared we are to meet successfully life’s challenges.
That is especially true when it comes to the art of [...]

You can’t read a book; attend a lecture or a seminar on success without getting the proverbial advice telling you that you should dream big. Nothing wrong with that… so long as you keep both feet on the ground.
The big dream is like the North Star. If the dream is really big, it should [...]

Hate to tell you this, but unless you enjoy doing what you do, there is no way that you can make it to the top and even if you defied all odds and actually made it… it would not be worth it. Rule number one for true success is: enjoy yourself.

How would you like to have someone pat you on the back ten times a day to remind you what a great person that you are? Would that not be a great source of motivation and a super boost for the self-esteem?

You wake up one good morning and realize that it seems as if you’re facing a blank wall. There are no issues, nowhere to go. Not a good feeling at all. Panic might not be far off. So what do you do?

Contrary to popular belief, we are not rewarded on merit. That’s a fundamental axiom that has not sunk in yet for many people.

In sports, there are stars and there are legends. There are those who perform way above average and there are those who, through their magnificent performances, rewrite the sport’s history. The difference between those great performers and the outstanding ones is the second effort.
