We are taught to consume. And that's what we do. But if we realized that there really is no reason to consume, that it's just a mind set, that it's just an addiction, then we wouldn't be out there stepping on people's hands climbing the corporate ladder of success.

But while success and failure depend on conditions, the mind neither waxes nor wanes.

No one can possibly achieve any real and lasting success or 'get rich' in business by being a conformist.

Think of success as a game of chance in which you have control over the odds. As you begin to master concepts in personal achievement, you are increasing your odds of achieving success.

Success is about enjoying what you have and where you are, while pursuing achievable goals.
