“Without question, positive thinking will do more for you, will make you feel better, do better, let you have more fun, and be liked by more people than negative thinking ever will.”

“Success-minded people make a decision to achieve a goal and never have to make that decision again. They will be faced with a choice or some new circumstances to deal with, but the decision to achieve the goal is not in question. They have only to make adjustments along the way.”

“You must always think big while you start small.”

“Asking questions is not a matter of weakness or of being uninformed. In fact, people who ask a lot of questions tend to achieve more and learn more than those who do not.”

“Gossip has always been a problem. It is one of the most powerful, addictive behaviors there is. As long as the human race has had a common language they have used it to gossip.”

“By no means do I think that playing games online is wrong or rude. However, constantly sending requests is an act of bad manners as well as being very annoying to the one receiving them.”

“If you want friends you must be friendly. Always complaining and posting negative comments is not going to bring you friends. No one likes to get puked on.”

“Remember that people who seek to do evil can play hit and miss all they want. People who are seeking companionship online have to be right every time. Miss out on this one and the price could be very dear, even costing your life.”

“If you are going to share something with a person, first look on their social media accounts and see how they have handled other people trust. If someone has shared the secrets of others, they will share yours.”

“It seems that the days of public modesty and concern about how we look are far from us. I will not say they are gone forever, in culture nothing is forever.”

“It is today that tells you if you learned from yesterday, and if tomorrow is possible.”

“Success-minded people need to understand that the best way to learn is to ask questions and listen for answers.”

“Writing out your goals is the first action in a chain of many on the road to achievement.”

“Never base your destiny on things you cannot control and have no power to change.”

“People who achieve the greatest success are the people who have the most fun getting there.”

“Goals need to build like a fire. It starts as a flame consuming all you put into it and burns hotter and hotter the more you work at it.”

“Heroes show us courage, honor, integrity and strength. Now more than ever, we need heroes.”

“We watch death and destruction on TV, in movies, over the news and online so much that it is just a part of our lives. It was never meant to be that way. In the end, we have paid a heavy price for our curiosity.”

“Always remember that the lessons you learn in life are never meant just for you. They are like all our gifts, they are meant to be used and shared, never horded and hidden.”

“Your thoughts, the way you think is the most powerful influence in your life.”
