It’s actually designed to focus on one thing at a time, and a lot of people think that’s not the case, but they lose stuff along the way.” “You can’t control other people. You can tell people to go to the gym, you need to work out, and you need to eat right. The only person that can control that person is that person.” “You could be the best mechanic or the best plumber, the best, whatever the trade is. But if you don’t answer your phone, you’re missing the money.” “With the absence of value, all cost is too high.” “Everybody has the same amount of time in every single day.” “Everyone has time. Everyone just decides to make time to things that are important to them.” “You gotta think before you start talking and especially be educated with, that sort of scenario involved.” “The more you fail, the more you succeed.” “Waiting for things to break or happen, and then you react to them, then it feels like you’re not in control of your life.” |
