1. Failures most successful strategy is "Procrastination". Now is the best time to be alive and productive. If you want to make an easy job seem difficult, just keep putting off doing it. A duty dodged is like a debt unpaid, it is only deferred and we must come back and settle the account at last. Do not allow idleness to deceive you, for while you give him today, he steals tomorrow from you. Nothing is so fatiguing as the eternal hanging-on of an uncompleted task. "Start" is what will set you apart.
2. To lose, you don't have to have anything stolen from you, all you have to do is take everything you have for granted. Be grateful for what you have, not sorry for what you don't have. It's a sure sign of mediocrity to be moderate with our thanks. Thank God for dirty dishes; they have a tale to tell. For by this stack of evidence, God's very good to us.
3. In the game of life, nothing is less more important than the score at half time. Success comes to the man who does today what others were thinking of doing tomorrow. The lazier a man is, the more he is going to do tomorrow. Tomorrow is the only day in the year that appeals to a lazy man. If you wait too long the future is gone before you get there.
4. When you're persistent, it's proof you have not been defeated. You have no right to anything you have not pursued. Life holds no greater wealth than that of stead fast commitment. It cannot be robbed from you. Only you can lose it by your will. We don't really want to take the "Seeds", we want the flowers. The truth is, the path of persistence pays. Most people don't realize how close they are to success when they quit. People do not fail, they just quit too soon. Never give up on what you really know you should do. Keep planting!
5. If you find yourself taking two steps forward and one step backward, invariably it's because you have mixed associations in your life. Choose your association carefully. The less you associate with some people, the more your life will improve. The simple but true fact of life is that you become like those with whom you closely associate with, for the good and bad. A mirror reflects a man's face, but what he is really like is shown by the kind of friends he chooses.
6. It's been said that the biggest enemy of 'great' is 'good'. The biggest enemy most of us face is 'ourselves'. The nagging voice says: be like him, you're not worthy; do what he does, follow where others are going. When you're trying to be like someone else, the best you can ever be is "second best". The easiest thing to be in the world is YOU. The most difficult thing to be is what other people want you to be. Don't let them put you in that position. Until you make peace with who you are, you will never be content with what you have, which means that if you don't have a plan for your own life, you will be the part of someone else's.
7. Mistakes have hidden powers to help us, but they fail in their mission to help us when we blame them on other people. When you use excuses, you give up your power to change and improve. You can fall down many times, but you won't be a failure until you say that someone else pushed you. If you find an excuse, don't pick it up. Failures are experts at making excuses. In life, admitting errors clear the score and proves you're wiser than before.
