Only when you can instantly recall what you have understood, and practice using your remembered understanding, do you achieve mastery.
Information can only be built onto more information, so the more you know, the easier it is to know more.
You can have success or excuses, but you can’t have them both.
Peace and concentration are the same thing.
People even drive while talking on the phone. Driving with a cell phone makes you hit the brakes 0.5 seconds slower. If you are traveling at 70 miles per hour (113 kilometers per hour), in 0.5 seconds you’ll travel 50 feet (15 meters) farther before you brake. A lot can happen in that distance. If you are distracted while driving, you are nine times more likely to get in an accident. When your phone rings, remember that you don’t have to pick it up; that’s why voice mail was invented!
“If you’re not sure why you’re doing something, you can never do enough of it.”
The greatest secret to having a powerful memory is bringing information to life with your endless imagination.
Your long-term memory (things that are in your memory forever, like your name and what your house looks like) is like the plastic bag that can be used to trap short-term memories (new pieces of information coming in, like a new telephone number). When you do that, you make a strong medium-term memory (MTM).
If you choose to believe that you can’t grow beyond your current limits you will live a limited life.
People don’t do it because they think that the future will be a better place than the present without doing anything to make it better.
