More quotes by Harvey Mackay
I have never yet met a successful person who hasn't had to overcome either a little or a lot of adversity in his or her life. If life there is a lot of lumps and bumps... a lot of throttling up and a lot of throttling down.
Harvey Mackay
Don't fall in love with your wit. Your cleverly turned phrase may not, as you hope, show off how much gray matter you have, especially if the phrase is at someone else's expense.
Harvey Mackay
The cost of praising someone is nil - but every psychological study shows the payoff is huge.
Harvey Mackay
Fatigue makes fools of us all. It robs you of your skills and your judgment, and it blinds you to creative solutions. It's the best-conditioned athlete, not the most talented, who generally wins when the going gets tough.
Harvey Mackay
Your past is not your potential.
Harvey Mackay
There will always be someone with a cuter girl, a bigger car, a bigger home, but that does not matter. You measure your own performance by your own potential. That's what makes a successful person.
Harvey Mackay
Deadlines aren't bad. They help you organize your time. They help you set priorities. They make you get going when you might not feel like it.
Harvey Mackay
It doesn't matter whether you are pursuing success in business, sports, the arts, or life in general: The bridge between wishing and accomplishing is discipline.
Harvey Mackay
Look in the mirror every day and say, I am in charge. You might not have control over every phase of your life, but you have more control than you realize, and you are responsible for your own happiness and success.
Harvey Mackay
Being rich isn't about money. Being rich is a state of mind. Some of us, no matter how much money we have, will never be free enough to take time to stop and eat the heart of the watermelon. And some of us will be rich without ever being more than a paycheck ahead of the game.
Harvey Mackay
Pale ink is better than the most retentive memory. If it's written down, you can look it up. Just be damn sure you write it down.
Harvey Mackay
It's way easier to stay in the comfort zone, especially when things are going good than to go out on a limb and take some risks. My philosophy is exactly the opposite: Sometimes it's risky not to take a risk.
Harvey Mackay
If you don't climb the mountain, you can't see the view
Harvey Mackay
Hard work often leads to success. No work seldom does.
Harvey Mackay
You have to look life straight in the eye. De-mystify your world. Can you really afford to believe magic is for real? Not when time is concerned.
Harvey Mackay
Failure is an attitude, not an outcome.
Harvey Mackay
Expect to make some mistakes when you try new and different approaches. Sometimes colossal failures lead to spectacular successes.
Harvey Mackay
You can't buy a good reputation you must earn it.
Harvey Mackay
Nobody said life would be easy, they just promised it would most likely be worth it.
Harvey Mackay
Would you like to go to a doctor who had taken his last medical course in 1948? You have to keep changing and keep learning so that you are constantly challenging yourself, adding a few new songs to your program every chance you get. If you don't, the world will pass you by.
