Humility

Don't think less of someone just because their background differs from yours.

Have the courage to accept that you're not perfect, nothing is, and no one is — and that's OK.

There is no substitute for hard work, for doing well at the job you're in.

I'm doing the best I can.

Our wounds are our best lessons, our life's biggest teachers. I have seen powerful love that has changed me forever. It has made me try to walk in other shoes, show more compassion and humility.

Wealth isn't measured in bling and Bentleys. It's measured in the richness of the human spirit. It's measured not in what we take from this world, but what we give to 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.

Ease up on yourselves. Have some compassion for yourself as well as for others. There's no such thing as perfection, and life is not a race.

Everything in my own immediate experience supports my deep belief that I am the absolute center of the universe, the realest, most vivid and important person in existence. It is our default setting, hardwired into our boards at birth.

Try never to be the smartest person in the room. And if you are, I suggest you invite smarter people — or find a different room.

Nobody else is paying as much attention to your failures as you are. You're the only ones who are obsessed with the importance of your own life. To everyone else, it's just a blip on the radar screen.

We come in naked and broke. We may be dressed when we go out, but we're just as broke.
