Teaching how to think is better than lecturing how to do it.

Your competition is not other people but the time you kill, the ill will you create, the knowledge you neglect to learn, the connections you fail to build, the health you sacrifice along the path, your inability to generate ideas, the people around you who don’t support and love your efforts, and whatever god you curse for your bad luck.

Everyone is different. We all suffer from the disease of being human. There are a thousand cures but no antidotes.
James Altucher
Dont buy into the 20-hours-a-day entrepreneur myth. You need to sleep 8 hours a day to have a focused mind.
James Altucher
Anxiety and gratitude cant live in the same head
James Altucher
The only way to make real wealth is to get rid of your salary. In a salary, by definition, you are creating wealth for others, and you are creating a chain and handcuffs for yourself.
James Altucher
It's in the valley of failure that we sow our seeds of success.
James Altucher
No longer is someone coming to hire you, to invest in your company, to sign you, to pick you. It's on you to make the most important decision in your life: Choose Yourself!
