1. Don't live your life to please others.
2. Don't depend on forces outside of yourself to get ahead.
3. Seek harmony and compassion in your business and personal life.
4. Get rid of the backstabbers-surround yourself only with people who will lift you higher.
5. Be nice.
6. Rid yourself of your addictions-whether they are food, alcohol, drugs, or behavior habits.
7. Surround yourself with people who are as smart or smarter than you.
8. If money is your motivation, forget it.
9. Never hand over your power to someone else.
10. Be persistent in pursuing your dreams.

"How noble and good everyone could be if, at the end of each day, they were to review their own behavior and weigh up the rights and wrongs....Everyone is welcome to this prescription; it costs nothing and is definitely useful. Those who don't know will have to find out bey experience that a quiet conscience gives you strength."- Anne Frank, July 6, 1944

"When you get intoa tight place and everything goes against you, till it seems as though you could not hand on a minute longer, never give up then, for that is just eh place and time that the tide will turn." - Harriet Beecher Stowe

"If I feel depressed, I go to work. Work is always an antidote to depression." -Elanor Roosevelt

"The biggest disease today is not leprosy or cancer or tuberculosis, but rather the feeling of being unwanted, uncared for, deserted by everybody. The greatest evil is the lack of lkove and charity, the terrible indifference towards one's neighbor who lives at the roadside, the victim of exploitation, corruption, poverty, and disease."-Mother Teresa
