Never let success get to your head and never let failure get to your heart.

Three things you cannot recover in life: the WORD after it’s said, the MOMENT after it’s missed and the TIME after it’s gone. Now you know.

Sometimes you just need to distance yourself from people. If they care, they'll notice. If they don't, you know where you stand.

Don't trust people whose feelings change with time... Trust people whose feelings remain the same, even when the time changes.

Revenge is always the weak pleasure of a little and narrow mind.

If you want to know where your heart is, look where your mind goes when it wanders.

A negative mind will never give you a positive life.

Age is just reality we create for ourselves.

A truly rich man is one whose children run into his arms when his hands are empty.

Society is going to judge you no matter what you do.

Never allow society to turn you into a person you are not.

Worry is a down payment on a problem you may never have. It doesn't empty tomorrow of its sorrow, just empties today of its strength.

Just because the past didn't turn out like you wanted it to, doesn't mean the future can't be better than you ever imagined.

For Lebanon to have any future, gotta adopt a resolute policy v/s terrorism. Whoever plots against the land should bear the consequences.

People keep asking me ...How to instantly become a better writer? It’s simple: Use "power words" and see for yourself.

Words are useless without action. Stop fantasizing and just DO it. Be a "game changer" or get played like an idiot.

Always remember: No matter how carefully you choose your words, they'll always end up being twisted by others.

Training, Books, Learning is all expensive. Being stupid though is still much more expensive.

Trust is earned, respect is given, and loyalty is demonstrated. Betrayal of any one of those is to lose all three.

When someone talks about their problems, it doesn't just mean they're complaining, it means they trust you enough to tell you.

The best relationship is when you can completely act yourself and they can still love you for who you are.

There's no such thing as a perfect relationship. It's about finding someone who matches you and will go through everything without giving up.

I'm strong because I know my weaknesses. I'm wise because I've been foolish. I laugh because I've known sadness.

Think like a maverick, Fight like a gladiator, Love with a humble heart and Die for a cause worth dying for... Be a "game changer"....The basic tenets of my life philosophy.

Your best friends should bring out the best in you. If they don't, lose them; they are no friends.

Always remember...the stronger your position in life, the more enemies you're gonna have .. while friends come and go.

One fake friend can do more harm than 10 enemies... Be smart choosing your friends.

You have three types of friends in life: Friends for a reason, friends for a season, and friends for a lifetime.

As you grow older, you realize it becomes less important to have more friends and more important to have real ones.People nowadays don't know the true meaning of friendship and loyalty.People always suddenly miss you more once they see how much happier you are without them.Learn the real from the fake....and don't worry about the mistakes you make.There are no mistakes in life, just lessons.The only people worthy to be in your life are the ones that help you through the hard times and laugh with you after the hard times pass.

I may not be the smartest fellow in the world, but I can sure pick the smartest people to do business with and size them up very fast.

Make your money on the buy, not the sell; this is true in any investment whether it's real estate, business, or the stock market.

Business Fights Poverty Better Than Charity Does

Entrepreneurs are all unique. One way to build a business and turn it into a brand is to know who you are.

Wanna run a killer business? Design it from the start so that it's leverageable, expandable, predictable & financeable - & you're unstoppable.

Once you find your dream, risk everything to make it come true.

Dream big, but stay humble.

Some people dream of success, others stay awake to achieve it.

Never put a limit on anything. The more you dream, the farther you get.

There are only 2 paths to happiness in life. Utter Stupidity or Exceptional Wealth.

Almost 1/2 the world’s wealth ($110 trillion) is owned by just 1% of ts population

Our MANDATE at Blackhawk is to create mega-millionaires. Period. More wealth for our clients, more power for all of us ...the People.

The real measure of your "wealth" is how much you'd be worth if you lost all your money.

How can wealth persuade poverty to use its political freedom to keep wealth in power? Here lies the whole art of Conservative politics.

Make a list of goals for every year, tick them off & reward yourself when you achieve each one. Will give much discipline in your life.

The reason most people never reach their goals is that they don't define them, or ever seriously consider them as achievable.

Life is not something that "has" meaning. It's something we give meaning to. You don't "end up" with a meaningful life, you create it.

Never erase your past. It shapes who you are today and will help you to be the person you'll be tomorrow.

There is something really good to say about humility. Being confident and humble is a great combination, maybe the best of all!

The Fed’s policies have been an unqualified success for financiers and an abject failure for the bottom 99.5% who have to work for a living.

After all is said and done, I believe the true measure of success is how many times you can bounce back from failure.

FINAO. My word for my companies. Failure Is Not An Option.

One of Obama’s greatest failures will be his legacy of making millions completely dependent on government handouts, not work....So sad.

I may die young, but at least I'll die smart.... If you can't be seven feet tall, be seven feet smart...Best advice I can ever give you.

You can only control so much, in the end the rest is up to fate.

The problem is never the problem. The problem is your attitude about the problem. Think before you rush into action.

There are so many mistakes you can learn only by making them yourself. There is no substitute for experience.

Maturity comes with experience, not age.

Don’t promise when you’re happy, don’t reply when you’re angry, and don’t decide when you’re sad.

Our education system is today run by left-wing elitists who believe the US is too big, too arrogant, and must be reigned-in... Real sad.

Keep cool. Anger is not an argument.

Always remember .... The people who usually hide their feelings care the most.

I learned over the years never to correct a fool or he will hate you; correct a wise man, and he will appreciate you.

The only reason people hold onto memories is because memories are the only things that don't change, even when everyone else does.

A million men can tell a woman she is beautiful, but the only time she will listen is when it's said by the man she loves.

It is usually the roughest road that leads to the heights of greatness.

I believe "Leadership" is creating the environment for the greatness in people to emerge.

Don’t be afraid to make people mad. Your honesty will inspire your true followers. I piss off tons of people every day.

Work hard in silence, let your success be your noise.

Nothing happens by mistake the universe has a divine plan...Stay attuned to it.

Always remember: When government accepts responsibility for people, then people no longer take responsibility for themselves.

Why do people look to the government to fix the economy? It's mind-boggling.

Look how many of our young are ill prepared to enter adult life today. This was designed by progressives to create government dependency.

I believe Government should encourage competition, NOT prop up the weak when the going gets tough.

I believe Money is too important to leave in the hands of government officials.

Never underestimate the power of human stupidity, especially when it comes to bureaucrats in a government who has no clueabout money matters

Our debts don't leave us much in terms of choices. We can choose to pay now or try to pay later. But the longer we wait the steeper the bill

No matter the situation, never let your emotions overpower your intelligence.

Behind each person is an utter mystery, supreme value. The more we recognize this the better we ALL get.

I believe one of the best ways to achieve justice is to expose injustice.

There are two theories to arguing with a woman. Neither one works. Don't bother.

I believe the best gift you could ever give a woman is your time.

I don’t see any dearth of women leaders, it’s a question of what we consider a woman leader.

People aren't born good or bad. It's the way you live your life that matters and how many people you inspire and empower after you're gone.

Be a good person but do not waste time to prove it.

Nothing ever stays the same. Just because things aren't good now doesn't mean they will be that way forever....Never quit.

Never blame anyone in life. The good people give you happiness. The worst people give you a lesson. The best people give you memories.

5 rules to live a happier life: 1) Love yourself. 2) Do good. 3) Always forgive. 4) Harm no one. 5) Be positive.

You are only going to be as good as the people you surround yourself with, so be brave enough to let go those who keep weighing you down.

People with higher ratios of positive to negative emotions are more likely to flourish in life.

Sometimes being too nice is dangerous, you have to show your mean side once in a while to avoid getting hurt.

Don't judge someone's attitude until you've felt their pain.

Don't ever confuse my personality with my attitude. My personality is who I am. My attitude always depends on who you are.

Everything can be taken from a man but one thing - the ability to choose one's attitude in any given set of circumstances.

Never measure or compare yourself to anyone other than your past self, seek to always improve & you'll be happy and successful.

Being happy isn't necessarily about getting there, it's how you get there.

Don't ever be afraid to show who you really are, because as long as you are happy with yourself, no one else's opinion matters.

There are situations where the best solution still doesn't make everyone happy. The trick is understanding what's best.

Keep people in your life who truly love you, motivate you, and make you happy. If you know people who do none of these things, let them go.

Knowledge in youth is wisdom in age.

The illusion of choice is the greatest magic trick ever performed.

After all is said and done, you are free to choose but you are not free from the consequence of your choice.

Seek respect, not attention. It lasts longer.

I believe Innovation is more likely to emerge from a culture of encouragement.

If you are filled with pride, then you have no room for wisdom.

Putting your pride first makes the results come in second, at best.

My best ideas come when I distance myself from day-to-day operations. It gives me more focus.

Never worry about what you can't control...Focus on what you can.

Never look at an opportunity at face value & pass it on that basis. Examine the income vs. the profit vs. expenses then make your decision.

For all the secret societies lunatics out there who think they know anything, why don't you chill..We’re ALL guests on Earth, not Management.

Patience is not the ability to wait but how you act while you are waiting.

A great leader has brains, vision, guts, values ... and a heart.

Kill your enemies with success and bury them with a smile.... Never fails.

Only idiots get bored when we've all got handheld devices containing infinite knowledge at our fingertips.

Be dissatisfied with what is, but remain visionary of what can be done.

The best investors are visionaries—they look beyond the present. By the same token, vision remains vision until you focus, do the work, and bring it down to earth where it will do some good.

I will always choose a lazy person to do a difficult job because he will find an easy way to do it.

Job tip: If you were the employer, what kind of person would you most desire as an employee? Be that person.

If you need an alarm clock, you need a new job.

We're taught by repetition but great innovators need to be great at doing the different.

Work smart, stay informed, never give up, and great things will happen.

Smart people think. Brave people talk. Great people act.

Lots of folks want success without sacrifice. Life doesn't work that way. Be willing to pay the price for your dreams.

The difference between the Haves and Have-nots? The will to sacrifice and to do what others won't.... Very simple.

As long as enough people can be frightened, then all people can be ruled. I am afraid that's how it works in a democracy.

You know you have a transparency problem when citizens of a democracy need to rely on WikiLeaks for details on changes to laws.

No matter how many mistakes you make or how slow you progress, you are still way ahead of everyone who isn’t trying.

Capitalism without Bankruptcy is like Catholicism without Hell.

In the end, we only regret the chances we didn't take.

Capitalism is the most powerful tool for positive social change.

No matter how far down a path you go, if it's the wrong path, turn around and go back home - before it is too late.

You will never solve problems unless you face them head on.

You know you’re a good leader when people follow you out of curiosity.

Make decisions even with incomplete info. You'll never have all the info you need. What matters is what you do with the info you have.

There's a huge misconception that innovation is mostly about inventing or coming up with cool new things. More often than not, innovation is about figuring out what people really need or want but can't have or afford.

Be a reflection of what you'd like to see in others. You get in return what you give.

Drugs have destroyed many people. But wrong government policies have destroyed many more.

Either find a way, or make one....You can bend but you can never break if you want to achieve excellence.

Be careful who you trust, the devil was once an angel.

If what you do doesn’t make others better at what they do then you are not living up to your potential.

There is a difference between skill and talent. Master the skill to allow the talent out.

Fear and self-doubt are the greatest killers of personal genius.

The next time you think you're perfect, try walking on water.

Swag is not about what you want people to think about you, its already knowing what they think about you.

We need to empower every single child no matter who you are, no matter where you come from to have the best education and the best future.

History used to be written by the winners. Now it is distorted and distributed by the winners' media.

Never make fun of people who are different...unless they have more money, power and influence. Then you must.

Your strategy for success must constantly move, change, and evolve.

No one is fearless. The difference between achievers and everyone else is that they take action despite their fears.

Sometimes people try to expose what's wrong with you, because they can't handle what's right about you.

When you want something you've never had, you have to do something you've never done.

You can't be for big government, big taxes, and big bureaucracy and still be for wealth creation

Root cause of inequality is the mass scale digital disruption advantage as means of wealth creation is concentrated.

Risk is what you control and fortune is really all about risk. Bottom Line: Fortune comes from big money bets on very low probability events

Derivatives - The risk never leaves the system - It finds taker who believes the risk is acceptable....until they lose everything.

I believe the more personally removed people are from a major financial event, the less it is to affect their appetite for risk.

I have come to the conclusion that some people come in your life as blessings, others come in your life as lessons.

In a victory speech, I always like to thank the opposition, because without their help and stupidity, I couldn’t have won.

It's never better to make somebody poorer, even if they're rich.

Until you are broken, you don't know what you're made of.

You never know how strong you are until being strong is the only option you have left.

Be strong enough to stand alone, smart enough to know when you need help, and brave enough to ask for it.

Lebanese freedom of speech : You get to say whatever you like as long as the authorities approve of it... Hilarious.

Why are so many very smart people not also rich? I guess they are too busy calculating risks rather than getting into action.

Every successful venture is based on an unoriginal idea, beautifully executed.

Any definition of a successful life must include service to others.

Successful people are always looking for opportunities to help others. Unsuccessful idiots are always asking, "What's in it for me"?

To be real successful, you must decide exactly what you want to accomplish; then resolve to pay the price to get it.

If a problem can be solved by writing a check, it's not a problem, it's an expense.

Challenge conventional wisdom. There is almost always a better way.

Never forget who was with you from the start....The people who stick by you at your worst, deserve to enjoy being with you at your best.

Always Remember... Once You Give Up Your Rights, You Can Never Get Them Back. Once You Turn On That Police State, You Can Never Turn It Off.
