Chaos, distractions and lack of focus will not help you achieve your goals. Prioritise and save precious time; stop wasting time on “timewasters.” Motivate yourself and start achieving your goals.

Be a visioneer. Everything started as a dream. Build your goal in detail in your mind’s eye and watch it take shape. Visualize yourself achieving it!

"What you do is create a vision of who you want to be, and then live that picture as if it were already true."

Do not rush, be patient. Make steady advances by seeking to improve your life by about 5% every day.

People might not believe in you, but you have to believe in in the sincerity and value of your personal goals. Otherwise, you will lose your motivation, therefore your dreams.

"In this information-rich, interactive...life today, you are either living your dream or living someone else’s. And unless you give your own dream the time and space it needs...you’ll simply help...others make their dreams come true."

Face your fears. Empower yourself by facing and conquering your greatest fear, regardless of what it is. You must recognize them, face up to them and overcome them.

If you want to achieve excellence, you must be ready to fail first. You can fall short of your goals simply because you think you couldn’t possibly attain them. Be willing to go through the phase of being an amateur first on your way to expertise.

"Losing teaches kids to grow in the face of defeat. It also teaches them that losing isn’t the same as dying or being worthless. It’s just the other side of winning."

Mistakes often prove to be the best teacher in life. Learn how to use your predicaments, failures and weaknesses as guidelines for doing a better job the next time.

Embrace your weaknesses and learn a great deal from them. Turn the traits, tendencies and characteristics you most dislike about yourself into your strongest assets.

Use your imagination. Play roles. Decide who you are; don't let your past or bad moments dictate your identity. Your thought processes influence who you are and what you will accomplish. Act motivated and you will be.

Let your brain play a game. People react to stressful times with extraordinary abilities. Nothing captures the power of your imagination more than work you truly enjoy.

"Don’t be afraid to leave the psychic home you’re in. Get excited about building a larger, newer, happier home in your mind and then go live there."

"Mens sana in corpore sano" or a a sound mind in a sound body! The health of your body is the foundation for the health of your mind. Body strength and agility matter as much as intellectual vigor and alertness.

Train yourself both physically and mentally. Incorporating exercises into your routine isn’t just good for your body; it's also beneficial for your brain. Exercise your mind by solving puzzles and mystery stories.

Don’t let your emotions get the better of you. Often, your emotions control what you say. Speaking or acting from an emotional orientation can disrupt and destroy communication. Don’t ignore your feelings, know when to use them.

Make fun of your situations. Be optimistic. View problems as puzzles you have to solve, rather than seeing them as insurmountable. Problems often bring out the best in people so welcome them.

"Optimists...are not surprised, overwhelmed or offended by trouble. They know that trouble comes and they know they can handle it."

One thing about God's will, you can never see God's will before it happens. You can only see at the end of it.

In life, try your best to do the right thing. Have fun while you're alive. Take advantage of every asset you have. Don't take anything for granted.

I'd be getting texts from my mates saying they'd just got into a club in Liverpool with a fake ID, and what was I doing? I'd have just finished a 20-hour day and be sitting in a hotel room, starving.

24 isn't like other shows, where you set the look once and you're done. The show started at midnight, then moved to a pre-dawn look, and now we're at dawn and we're warming up the day.

Marry in haste, repent at leisure

I'm just not into trying to convince people like me. I always say to myself, 'It is what it is.' I walk into a situation knowing that people are either going to love me or they're not, and that's OK. I'm just going to be me. You can't be everything to everyone.

The more help a person has in his garden, the less it belongs to him.

When I was a child, a lot of my time was spent in Scotland because my mother's Scottish, and we used to go up to Ayrshire and visit relations in a place called Dalry.

I'm still strong and in the best shape to continue living my life.

Integrity is holding fast to our convictions regardless of the consequences and never compromising our ideals or values, even if it affects the bottom line.

I am very aware of my family name. I'm very aware of the legacy that that kind of carries with it. And I think that I didn't want to lose any kind of hold of that. And I think once you're born into something that you're proud of and that you're aware of, you don't take it lightly.

And that is the reason why this victory is great, because different players have made contributions to the win.

When it comes to memories of that iconic type, memories that are burned into you, I have maybe ten or so from my childhood. I'm a bad rememberer of situations. I forget almost everything as soon as it happens.

Talk of the Devil, and he is bound to appear

Being in Cuba has allowed me to live in a society that is not at war with itself. There is a sense of community. Its a given in Cuba that if you fall down the person next to you is going to help you get up.

I just hate plugs. It just doesn't seem entertaining to me. I've never plugged anything in my life on a talk show ever. I understand people use that vehicle. It's just not very entertaining.

It's a really interesting and diverse business. You're a farmer first, then a winemaker, then you're onto marketing and distribution. So it's multi-faceted and really engaging. I've learned more in the last couple years than in the ten prior to that, so it's been pretty interesting.
