Career

If you believe in yourself, others will too. And if you have confidence in who you are, there is no end to what you can accomplish.

The only way to do great work is to love what you do.

The world owes you nothing. You will only get from life what you invest in it.

Self-confidence — quiet self-confidence — is the key to winning. A quiet, deep-seated belief in yourself and what you stand for. Cockiness has nothing to do with confidence.

Process without purpose is pretty much the definition of bureaucracy. Never let the how get in the way of the what.

You have to love what you do. If you don't love it, don't do it.

Keep the big picture in mind, but never lose sight of the details. Because if you lose sight of the details, they can send you down.

Love what you do. Get good at it. Competence is a rare commodity in this day and age. And let the chips fall where they may.

Pick a company or organization that is dedicated to helping humanity. Then your life will be dedicated to a worthy cause.

You've got to want to do whatever you want to do more than you want to be whatever you want to be. Want to write more than you want to be a writer. Want to heal more than you want to be a doctor.

Excellence is the antidote to racism, sexism and nepotism. The harder you work, the luckier you become. What is luck? Luck is when opportunity meets preparation.

If you are educated, if you are a doctor with those stethoscopes hanging around your neck, people may not want to come to see you, but they will have to come to see you because you have a skill and knowledge.
