The Most Critical Knoweldege is self Knowlegde

There is virtually nothing on earth that brings much personal satisfaction and gratification as being able to empower other human beings to become successful because of the goods, products or services you have to offer. That precisely explains to Why you are getting the results you are getting in your life and the one simple thing you can do to turn things around overnight;
  1. It is tempting to call for better leadership, but we probably expect too much from the leaders of the nations. Those nations are too big, the connections not strong enough, the commitment to the future not long enough. It is better to look smaller, to our now-smaller organisations, to local communities and cities, to families and clusters of friends, to small networks of portfolio people with time to give to something bigger than themselves.
  2. "People and things do not upset us. Rather, we upset ourselves by believing that they can upset us."
  3. "Bottom line: It's not our life events (Actions) that themselves directly disturb us, (produce unpleasant emotional Consequences). It's our irrational demandingness, our shoulds, oughts, and musts (Beliefs) that largely do the job."
  4. "Any fact facing us, however difficult, even seemingly hopeless, is not so important as our attitude towards that fact. How you think about a fact may defeat you before you ever do anything about it. You may permit a fact to overwhelm you mentally before you deal with it actually. On the other hand, a confident and optimistic thought pattern can overcome or modify the fact altogether."
  5. "An eye for an eye will make the whole world blind."
  6. "If you think you're too small to have an impact, try going to bed with a mosquito in the room."
  7. "It ain't what they call you, it's what you answer to."
  8. "Here is a test to find whether your mission on earth is finished: if you're alive, it isn't." "Here is a test to find out whether your mission in life is complete: if you're alive, it isn't." Or similar variations.
  9. "You will not be punished for your anger. You'll be punished by your anger."
  10. "When you do a good turn you feel rich, even if you are broke."
The more useful your are to more people , the more successful you will be, the more indispensable you will be.
