"Learn to meditate effectively. The mind is naturally a very noisy machine which wants to move from one subject to another like an unchained monkey. One must learn to restrain and discipline it if one is to achieve anything of substance and to be peaceful.

Learned sages of the East have been advancing the many benefits of meditation for over 5000 years."

"Life's just too short to play small."

"Like the Taj Mahal, a life overflowing with wonders is built day by day, block by block. Small victories lead to large victories. Tiny incremental changes will create positive habits. Positive habits will create results. Results will inspire you towards greater personal change."

"Lift your teammates up versus tear your teammates down. Anyone can be a critic. What takes guts is to see the best in people."

"Look at people who discovered a cause that they gave their lives over to, people such as Benjamin Franklin, Mahatma Gandhi, Martin Luther King Jr., Mother Teresa, Albert Einstein and Nelson Mandela.

"Never let the weeds of impure thought and action take the garden of your mind."
