Paying Taxes Is an Honor

I tried to pay less taxes. In the next two years, my taxes were nothing - I didn't make anything. You got to make money to pay. Pay all the taxes you can, because you get to keep the balance. It's an honor to be able to create money and then pay taxes.

What if things go right? Most people think, “What if things go wrong?” I don’t look at it that way. I look at, “What if things go right?” Plan for the best, and it starts happening.

Live Below Your Means

Be Optimistic, Stay Hungry

Be optimistic about the future. You always think the times you're living in are the worst, but they're never the worst. Be optimistic and futuristic, but understand that optimism cannot bet itself. Work hard, stay focused on your vision, and above all, stay hungry - and you'll succeed.

Saving Is a Discipline

Save! Saving is extremely important. That's how I started. You earn a dollar and tell yourself, “It's just a dollar - I can't save anything.” But when you earn a billion dollars, you still won't save anything. Discipline is so important. Develop the discipline of saving: earn a dollar, save some cents.

Progress Requires Discipline

Without hard work, I can't make progress. Without discipline, I won't make progress. If I don't make sacrifices today for a better tomorrow, I won't make progress. If I don't defer my consumption today, I won't make progress. Those were the things that helped me.
