THESE ARE GOOD
THESE ARE ALL GOOD & HELPFULL
Very nice quotes. Inspirational in fact… it's the kind of words that will bolster up the fire in ones stomach. I like the challenges that Dan puts out, he actually makes things sound challenging to any man with a smart mind. Challenge should always fire up a person who wants to succeed.
He doesn't speak about all these bullshit that success is easy to reach and that there's a step by step process to get there. He actually let people know that it is difficult to be successful and beats you up until you become strong enough to reach it. He is realistic.
If we don't know how hard it is to really get there, how would we properly educate and prepare ourselves for it? If we don't know how tough and harsh it could be out there how are we to survive? Unlike many others who stick to what's conventional, he's the only one I've read about who believes that "Conventional wisdom is almost always wrong." He inspires innovativeness and he supports creativity which is the birth of many people who have succeeded.
Kudos! This man has my respect. I am thankful to a friend who told me about Dan. I owe it to him.
I think your father's qoute on "The older you get the less you are suprised." should be added to this list.
My father has given me some great ones as well:
"Todo es negocio."
^Thanks for the suggestion. I added that one
