James Altucher
Rejection-and the fear of rejection-is the biggest impediment we face to choosing ourselves.
James Altucher
Writing a book makes you an expert in the field. At the very least, when you hand someone a book you wrote, it's more impressive than handing a business card.

It's how you view the life inside you that creates the life outside of you. Everyday.
James Altucher
My feeling, based on my own experience, is that aiming for grandiosity is the fastest route to failure.

You can't make money without selling something real. You can't make something real without first imagination manifesting itself in your head. You can't have imagination without surrendering yourself to an idea that you want to create something of value to other human beings.
James Altucher
Requirements are for people who want to be unhappy. Because it’s your rules or the universe’s rules. The universe is going to win. Every time.
James Altucher
