Roy T. Bennett
“Surround Yourself with Positive People Who Believe in Your Dreams

Distance yourself from negative people who try to lower your motivation and decrease your ambition. Create space for positive people to come into your life.

Surround yourself with positive people who believe in your dreams, encourage your ideas, support your ambitions, and bring out the best in you.”
Roy T. Bennett, The Light in the Heart

Neal Shusterman
“I'd rather be partly great than entirely useless.”
Neal Shusterman, Unwind
