"Wealth can also be that attitude of gratitude with which we remind ourselves everyday to count our blessings."
"Baby steps count, as long as you are going forward. You add them all up, and one day you look back and you'll be surprised at where you might get to."
"Others may question your credentials, your papers, your degrees. Others may look for all kinds of ways to diminish your worth. But what is inside you no one can take from you or tarnish. This is your worth, who you really are, your degree that can go with you wherever you go, that you bring with you the moment you come into a room, that can't be manipulated or shaken. Without that sense of self, no amount of paper, no pedigree, and no credentials can make you legit. No matter what, you have to feel legit inside first."
"It's okay to fail; it's not okay to quit."
"Find something that you love. Something that gets you so excited you can't wait to get out of bed in the morning. Forget about money. Be happy."
