Improve yourself through constant reading. Learn a new word daily. Learn how to pronounce words you already know with better elocution. 

Don’t be intimidated by those who are more intelligent than you. Instead, rub your iron against theirs to sharpen it. Don’t wait for opportunities. Create them! 

Master your fears, and you will fare well. Understand money, and money will never underfund you. Control your thoughts, and you will control your life. Don’t just be religious or spiritual. 

Be faithful and virtuous. Be humble, but never be proud of your humility! This formula for success is unassailable and works all the time.
