You've met the people you said you'd meet; You made the calls you said you would make; You did the things that you required of yourself to do... and at the end of the day you feel great about yourself. That's one of the greatest motivating factors for the future - self esteem - feeling good about yourself
- You can't linger too long in the rest mode. You have got to go back to work. Six days of work, then rest and spirituality and friendship and change of pace. And then go back over the last six days - what did I do, what did I mess, who did I miss, what happened,.. so that I can invest those corrections in the next six days of higher productivity. Six days of work, one day of rest. Don't get the numbers mixed up

- What should be the ratio of work and rest?
- Don't rest too long. It's a push-shove world
- It's push-shove world. So you can't relax too much and you can't rest too long. If you rest too long the weeds take the garden. And if you don't think so, we call you naive!
- Make rest a necessity not an objective. The objective of life is not to rest. The objective of life is to accomplish. Full growth. Full accomplishment. Test the outer limits of your abilities. That's what life is all about. See what all you can do

- If you are capable of making a half million dollars a year and you make $50,000 a year, we call you LOSER. We don't call you LOSER because of the difference between $50,000 and a half million, we call you LOSER because you are not doing your best
- If you do your best and you make $10,000 a year, that's enough. If you do your best and you make a million a year, that's enough. Enough is not the difference between $10,000 and a million, ENOUGH is simply - doing the best you can
