“Responsibility is the dividing line between childhood and adulthood. When you’re a child, you blame your problems on your parents, on what they did or didn’t do. But when you become an adult, as the Bible says, you “put away childish things” (1 Corinthians 13:11). When you become an adult, you step across that line, and you say, “I am an adult. I am responsible for what happens to me from now on.” From then on, your life will be different.”

“As your self-esteem goes up, your fears go down. You can cancel the fear of failure in particular by repeating the words I can do it over and over: I can do it, I can do it. You see, the fear of failure is summarized in the feeling I can’t, I can’t, I can’t. This I can’t holds us back from trying something new, from taking risks. Whenever you have a fear of cold calling, of knocking on doors, of taking a chance, say to yourself over and over again, I can do it, I can do it, I can do it, I can do it. As you say this, your confidence goes up and your fears go down.”

“Treat every person you meet like a million-dollar customer, beginning with the members of your family and extending outward from there. Remember, every person considers themselves to be the most important person in the world. When you acknowledge that by treating them as if they had the ability to buy a million dollars of your product or service, they will treat you with the same warmth, affection, and respect. You’ll find that all of the highest paid people in every industry are liked by their clients and customers. Why? Because they treat their clients and customers like special and important people.”

“The starting point of transforming your thinking is to change your explanatory style—the way you interpret your experience to yourself. Two people could be driving to work, and both could be stuck in a traffic jam. One person could be angry, frustrated, and pounding the steering wheel. The other person could say, “This is an opportunity to think, listen to an educational audio program, and get caught up with the day.” Two people, same situation: different explanatory style. When you start explaining things to yourself in a positive way, you start to feel positive about them.”
